The answer cannot be determined if the two bases are not given. But here is the formula for finding the height of a trapezoid. Height or the altitude is equal to two times the area of the trapezoid  all over the sum of the two bases.

A=(a+b)/2 x h
20=(a+b)/2 x h
h=(20x2)/(a+b)
h=40/(a+b)
i cant find out any pictures but all you need to do further is plug in the values of a and b.which is the base and the top side.
hope it works
