parallel sides measure :

10 ft -(a)
12 ft. -(b)

Area :

44 ft²

height (h) = x

___________________

$\boxed{Area = \frac{1}{2} \times (a + b) \times h}$

$\dfrac{1}{2} \times (10 + 12) \times x = 44$

$\dfrac{1}{2} \times 22 \times x = 44$

$11x = 44$

$\boxed{ 4 \: \: ft}$

Therefore, height of Trapezoid is 4 ft
