Answer:

h = 16 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The area of a trapezium, A = 700 m²

The sum of the length of the parallel sides = 70 m

The area of a trapezium is given by :


A=(1)/(2)* \text{sum of parallel sides}* height\\\\h=(2A)/(Sum)\\\\=(2* 700)/(70)\\\\=20\ m

So, the height of the flower bed is 20 m.
