Complete Question
A field in the shape of a trapezoid has an area of 13,687.5 square yards the length of one base is 150 yards and the length of the other base is 215 yards what is the height of the trapezoid
Answer:
The height of the trapezoid is 75 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a Trapezoid = 1/2(b1 + b2) × h
Where b1 = Length of the first base
b2 = Length of the second base
h = height of the trapezoid
From the question
Area of the trapezoid = 13,687.5 yd²
b1 = Length of the first base = 150 yards
b2 = Length of the second base = 215 yards
h = height of the trapezoid
Hence, we have
13,687.5 = 1/2(150 + 215)h
13,687.5 = 365h/2
13,687.5 × 2 = 365h
h = 13687.5 × 2/365
h = 75 yards
Therefore, the height of the trapezoid is 75 yards.
