A trapezoid has an area of 329 square feet. If the bases are 30 feet and 17 feet, what is the height of the trapezoid in feet? Formula: h = 2A / b1 +b2?
A.13.5sq ft
B.14.5sq ft
C.14sq ft
PLS ANSWER ASAP

Answer:

The correct option is C.  14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the height, we will follow the steps below;

Formula is given to be:  h = 2A / b1 +b2

where h = height of the trapezoid   b1 and b2 are the bases of the trapezoid    and A is the area of the trapezoid

From the question given;

Area A =329 feet²      b1 = 30 feet    b2 =17 feet  

We can now proceed to insert the values into the formula

h = 2A / b1 +b2

h= 2(329)  / 30 + 17

h = 658 /47

h=14 feet
