Answer 1

SOLUTION

Given the information on the question tab;

Explanation:

Considering our question;

$\begin{gathered} h=? \\ a=131cm \\ b=105cm \\ Area=8201cn^2 \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} Area=\frac{a+b}{2}\times h \\ 8201=\frac{131+105}{2}\times h \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} 8201=118h \\ h=\frac{8201}{118} \\ h=69.5cm \end{gathered}$

The height of the tabletop is 69.5 centimeters.
