Question

A trapezoid has an area of 95 square meters. If the bases are 7 meters and 12 meters what is the height of the trapezoid

Answer 1

ANSWER

The is 10 is meters

EXPLANATION

The area of a tra-pezoid can be calculated using the formula;

$Area= \frac{1}{2} \times (sum \: of \: bases) \times height$

We substitute the values to get,

$95= \frac{1}{2} \times (7 + 12) \times height$

$2 \times 95= 19 \times height$

$\frac{190}{19} = height$

$height = 10$

The height is 10 meters.
