Question 199043
write formula insert values and show calculations.
Find the height of a trapezoid with bases 6ft and 10ft and area 32sq ft.
:
The Area of a trapezoid formula
{{{1/2}}}h(b1 + b2) = A
where
b1 = 6
b2 = 10
A = 32 sq/ft
:
{{{1/2}}}h(6 + 10) = 32
Get rid of the fraction multiply by 2, add the bases, results
16h = 64
h = {{{64/16}}}
h = 4 ft is the height
