Question

The top if an end table is in the shape of a trapezoid. The area is 152 square inches. The bases are 11 inches and 27 inches. What is the height?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The height is $h=8\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}[b1+b2]h$

we have

$b1=11\ in$

$b2=27\ in$

$A=152\ in^{2}$

substitute in the formula and solve for h

$152=\frac{1}{2}[11+27]h$

$304=[38]h$

$h=304/38$

$h=8\ in$
