(NEED HELP ASAP)

The area of the trapezoid is 40 square units.


What is the height of the trapezoid? __ Units

Answer 1

Height of the trapezoid = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a picture of a trapezoid.

The two parallel sides or bases have dimensions as 10 and 6 units.

The height of the trapezoid is not given and to be found out.

We have the formula for a trapezoid with bases

`b_1, b_2` and height h is

`h(b_1+b_2)/(2)`

Substitute the known values in the formula for area to get h

`40=h(10+6)/(2) \\80=16h\\h=5`

Height of the trapezoid = 5 units

Answer 2

*The missing image is attached with the answer*

The correct answer is: Height = h =5 units

Step-by-step explanation:
a = 6 = Smaller base
b = 10 = Larger base
h = height

Area = A = (a + b)h/2 = 40

Plug in the values in the above equation:
h = (2*40)/(6+10)
h = 5 units
