Area: A
One base: a
Other base: b
height: h
Area of the trapezoid: Multiply both sides x 2:
AMP Parsing Error of [2A=(a+b)h Divide both sides by (a+b):
___(2A)/(a+b) = h]: Invalid expression '___(2\A)/(a+b)=h': syntax error at /home/ichudov/project_locations/algebra.com/templates/Algebra/Expression.pm line 203. . Substitute, using numbers in the problem:

10 = h, rewrite to make it pretty:
h = 10 This is the height of the trapezoid.
