Answer:

126.2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezoid's area is found using the formula A = 1/2 (a+b)h where a and b are the two bases. Substitute A = 12,052.1, a = 82.4 and b=108.6. Then solve for h.

A = 0.5(a+b)h

12,052.1 = 0.5(82.4 + 108.6)*h

12,052.1 = 0.5(191)h

12,052.1 = 95.5h

126.2 = h
