Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

Filling in the given information, we can solve for h.

  15 ft² = 1/2(4 ft +6 ft)h

  15 ft² = (5 ft)h

  h = (15 ft²)/(5 ft) = 3 ft

The height of the trapezoid is 3 feet.
