A trapezoid is a polygon of four sides with two parallel sides.

The area of trapezoid is the half sum of the lengths of the paralled sides times the height which is the distance between the parallel sides.

Call b1 and b2 the lengths of the two parallel sides and H the heigth, the formula is [1/2](b1 + b2) H.

We know b1 = 12cm, b2 = 12cm + 2 cm, and the area = 39 cm^2, then we can find H:

39 = [1/2](12 + 14)*H

39 = (13/2)H => H = 2*39 / 13 = 6 cm

Answer: 6 cm

Right

16 inches

10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to make a conversion and fill in the empty spaces

The scale is 1 foot is 1/8 inch

To convert from foot to inch, we multiply by 1/8

To convert from inch to foot, we multiply by 8

Thus, we have ;

Let’s fill in the left spaces first;

6.25 * 8 = 50 feet

Right spaces, top to bottom;

128 * 1/8 = 16 inches

80 * 1/8 = 10 inches
