Question

A tabletop in the shape of a trapezoid has an area of 5029 square cenimeters. Its longer base measures 123 cenimeters, and the shorter base is 65 cenimeters. What is the height?​

Answer 1

Length of height = 53.5 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Area of trapezoid = 5,029 cm²

Length of longer base = 123 cm

Length of shorter base = 65 cm

Find:

Length of height

Computation:

Area of trapezoid = [(a+b)/2]h

5,029 = [(123 + 65)/2]h

5,029 = [(188)/2]h

5,029 = [94]h

Length of height = 53.5 cm
