ANSWER

The is 10 is meters

Step-by-step explanation

The area of a tra-pezoid can be calculated using the formula;


Area= (1)/(2) * (sum \: of \: bases) * height

We substitute the values to get,


95= (1)/(2) * (7 + 12) * height


2 * 95= 19 * height


(190)/(19) = height


height = 10

The height is 10 meters.
