Question

Bryan cuts a piece of in a shape of a trapezoid. The area of the cutout is 43.5 square centimeters. If the bases are 6 centimeters and 8.5 centimeters long, what is the height of the trapezoid?

Answer 1

Answer:

height = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, Area of a trapezoid = 43.5cm²

Base1 = 6

Base2 = 8.5. Find height

$area \: of \: trapezoid \:= \frac{a + b}{2} h$

»» For getting height this is the formula

$height \: of \: trapezoid \:= 2 \frac{area}{a + b}$

$h \: = \: 2 \frac{43.5}{6 + 8.5}$

so h = 6cm
