Question

A trapezoid has an area of 342 square

yards. The length of one base is 17 yards,
and the length of the other base is
'21 yards. What is the height of the
trapezoid?

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

Area = 342 sq yds.

b2 = 21

b1 = 17

h = ??

Area = (b1 + b2)*h/2

342 = (17 + 21)*h/2

342 = (38)*h/2

342 = 19 * h

342 / 19 = 19h / 19

h = 18
