Jenny purchased a home in the shape of a trapezoid, the area of it is 1500 sq. ft. It has a base of 25 and 20.5, but she does not know what the height is. What is the height of the house?

I’m not 100 percent sure but I think the height of the home would be 65.93 because when finding the area of a trapezoid it is the bases added together and divided by 2 then multiplied by the height so the area divided by 22.75 would give you 65.93
