Q. The trapezoid has an area of 232square centimeters. What is the height of the trapezoid?
Identify Formula: Identify the formula for the area of a trapezoid.Area=21×(Base1+Base2)×HeightWe need to find the height, so we rearrange the formula to solve for Height.Height=Base1+Base22×Area
Substitute Values: Substitute the known values into the formula.Assuming Base1=10cm and Base2=14cm, and Area=232cm2,Height=10+142×232
Calculate Height: Calculate the height.Height = (464)/(24)Height = 19.33 cm
