Answer:
15.3 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of trapezoid is given by = 1/2*( sum of parallel side) height
Given area of trapezoid = 221.85 sq. miles
Length of parallel sides = 19 miles and 10 miles.
Sum of parallel sides = 19 miles + 10 miles = 29 miles.
Plugging the above values in formula for area of trapezoid we have
Area of trapezoid is given by = 1/2*( sum of parallel sides) height
221.85 = 1/2 (29) height
=> 221.85* 2 = 29* height
=> 443.7 = 29* height
=> 443.7/29 = height
=> height = 15.3
Thus, height is 15.3 miles.
