Question

A trapezoid and has an area of 45 square centimeters. If the base are 10 and 5 centimeters , what is the height of the trapezoid?

Answer 1

Area of Trapezoid =  (1/2)*(Sum of Parallels) * height

45 =  (1/2)*(10 + 5) * h

45 = 1/2 * 15 * h

45 = 7.5 h

45 / 7.5 = h

6 = h

h = 6              Height is = 6 cm.
