Question

The length of the parallel bases of a trapezoid are 2.7 feet and 0.8 feet. What is the height of the trapezoid if the area is 6.1 square feet?

Answer 1

SolutioN :-

GIVEN :

• First parallel base =2.7 feet
• Second parallel base =0.8 feet

TO FIND :

• Height

Area of trapezoid = 1/2 (a+b)h

• a = First parallel base
• b = Second parallel base
• h= Height

↪ 1/2 (a+b)h = 6.1

↪ 1/2 (2.7+0.8)h = 6.1

↪ 1/2×3.5 h= 6.1

↪ 1.75 h = 6.1

↪ h = 6.1/1.75

↪h = 3.49 feet (Approx )
