Answer: 8.3ft

Step-by-step explanation: yee hawwww

Answer 2

The height of the trapezoid is
`8.3\ ft`

Explanation:

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to

`A=(1)/(2)(b1+b2)h`

In this problem we have

`A=70.55\ ft^(2)`

`b1=11.4\ ft`

`b2=5.6\ ft`

substitute and solve for h

`70.55=(1)/(2)(11.4+5.6)h`

`141.1=(17)h`

`h=141.1/(17)=8.3\ ft`
