We need the formula A = h/2(base 1 + base 2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "300 = h/2(16 + 24)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "300 = h/2(40)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "300 = 20h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "300/20 = h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "15 centimeters = h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
