Question

B1 = 4ft b2 = 8ft total area of the right trapezoid is 36ft squaredwhat's the height?

Answer 1

6ft

1) Considering the given data, let's visualize it then:

2) Let's calculate it, plugging into the formula

$\begin{gathered} S=\frac{(B+b)h}{2} \\ 36=\frac{(8+4)h}{2} \\ 12h=72 \\ h=6 \end{gathered}$

So the height of the trapezoid is 6 ft
