Answer:


h = 8 \: ft

Explanation:

Height of trapezoid formula:


h = 2 * (area)/(a + b)

Given:

Area: 40 square feet

a: 6 feet

b:4 feet

Using the given information,


h = 2 * (40)/(6 + 4)

Add the numbers in the denominator


h = 2 * (40)/(10)

Reduce the fraction with 10


h = 2 * 4

Answer:


h = 8 \: feet
