6ft

1) Considering the given data, let's visualize it then:

2) Let's calculate it, plugging into the formula


\begin{gathered} S=((B+b)h)/(2) \\ 36=((8+4)h)/(2) \\ 12h=72 \\ h=6 \end{gathered}

So the height of the trapezoid is 6 ft

B1 = 4ft b2 = 8ft total area of the right trapezoid is 36ft squaredwhat's the height-example-1
