Answer 1

Height of the trapezoid is 14.4 meter.

Solution:

Given data:

One base $(b_1)$ = 12 meter

Other base $(b_2)$ = 8 meter

Area = 144 square meter

Area of the trapezoid = $\frac{1}{2} \times(b_1+ b_2)\times h$

$144=\frac{1}{2} \times(12+8)\times h$

$144=\frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times h$

$144= 10 \times h$

Divide by 10 on both sides, we get

14.4  =  h

Switch the sides of the equation.

h = 14.4

Height of the trapezoid is 14.4 meter.
