Area: A
\n" ); document.write( "One base: a
\n" ); document.write( "Other base: b
\n" ); document.write( "height: h
\n" ); document.write( "Area of the trapezoid: $\"A=%28%28a%2Bb%29%2F2%29h\"$ Multiply both sides x 2:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2A=%28a%2Bb%29h+Divide+both+sides+by+%28a%2Bb%29%3A%0D%0A%7B%7B%7B%282A%29%2F%28a%2Bb%29+=+h\"$ Substitute, using numbers in the problem:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%28150%29%29%2F%2814%2B16%29=+h\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28300%2F30%29+=+h\"$
\n" ); document.write( "10 = h, rewrite to make it pretty:
\n" ); document.write( "h = 10 This is the height of the trapezoid. \r
