Question

Which of the following is the height of the special trapezoid if WX = 16, YZ = 16, and the area is 80 units2?

5 units
6 units
7units
8 units

Answer 1

a. 5 if u divide 80 by 16 you get 5 

Answer 2

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is : A= 1/2(h)(b1 + b2)

Plug the numbers you are given from the word problem into the formula: 80 = 1/2(x)(16+16)

Simplify : 80 = 1/2(x)(32)

80 = 16(x)

5 = x

So, our answer is 5. Hope you understand!
