We can't tell from the information given. What we do know is

P(A ∩ B) = P(A|B) P(B)

We're given the conditional probability but not the probability of the conjunction.

If we were told P(A|B)=0.8 and P(A ∩ B)=0.12 we could conclude

P(B)=P(A ∩ B)/P(A|B) = 0.12/0.8 = 0.15

but that wasn't the problem asked.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The height of the trapezoid is 4.5\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}(b1+b2)h

In this problem we have

A=33.75\ ft^{2}

b1=5\ ft

b2=10\ ft

substitute in the formula and solve for h

33.75=\frac{1}{2}(5+10)h

67.5=15h

h=67.5/15=4.5\ ft
