Question

The following formula gives the area A of a trapezoid, where b and c are the bases of the trapezoid and h

Answer 1

Answer:

$h = \frac{2A}{b + c}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$A = \frac{1}{2}(b + c)h$

Required

Solve for h

We have:

$A = \frac{1}{2}(b + c)h$

Multiply sides by 2

$2A = (b + c)h$

Make h the subject

$h = \frac{2A}{b + c}$
