Given:
Area = 150 square feet
Bases = 14 feet and 16 feet

Find the height of the trapezoid.

Let us use the formula of finding the Area of a trapezoid to get the value of its height.

A = (a+b)/2 * h
150 ft² = (14ft + 16ft)/2 * h
150 ft² = 15ft * h
150 ft² / 15 ft = h
10 ft = h

The height of the trapezoid is 10 feet.
