Quadrilateral ABCD is a trapezoid with an area of 20 cm2004-05-02-04-00_files/i0290000.jpg. Find the height of the trapezoid, h. Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
The answer cannot be determined if the two bases are not given. But here is the formula for finding the height of a trapezoid. Height or the altitude is equal to two times the area of the trapezoid all over the sum of the two bases.
A=(a+b)/2 x h 20=(a+b)/2 x h h=(20x2)/(a+b) h=40/(a+b) i cant find out any pictures but all you need to do further is plug in the values of a and b.which is the base and the top side. hope it works
