Answer:

h =
(2A)/(b_(1)+b_(2) )

Explanation:

you may have written the formula incorrectly

the area ( A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A =
(1)/(2) h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height between the bases b₁ and b₂

multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

2A = h(b₁ + b₂) ← isolate h by dividing both sides by b₁ + b₂


(2A)/(b_(1)+b_(2) ) = h

Hope this helps
