Answer:

16 units

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:

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

We are given that the bases have lengths of 26 and 30 and the area is 448. Substituting these values into the formula above, we get:

448 = (1/2)h(26 + 30)

448 = (1/2)h(56)

Multiplying both sides by 2/56, we get:

16 = h

Therefore, the height of the trapezoid is 16 units.

Hope this helps you and have a great day!
