Question

A trapezoid has an area of 40 square feet. It also has a base of 6 feet and 10

Answer 1

Answer:

$h = 8 \: ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of trapezoid formula:

$h = 2 \times \frac{area}{a + b}$

Given:

Area: 40 square feet

a: 6 feet

b:4 feet

Using the given information,

$h = 2 \times \frac{40}{6 + 4}$

Add the numbers in the denominator

$h = 2 \times \frac{40}{10}$

Reduce the fraction with 10

$h = 2 \times 4$

Answer:

$h = 8 \: feet$
