Use the formula to solve the problem. Area of a trapezoid = (1/2)(a + b)h, where a and b are the lengths of the two parallel sides and h is the altitude. The area of a trapezoid is 375 m2. If the two parallel sides are 20 m and 30 m, respectively, what is the altitude of the trapezoid? altitude, h = m.

Answer:

h = 1.25m

Explanation:

a=20m, b= 30m

Area = (½) (a+b) (h)

375= ½ (20+30) h

375= 300h

300h = 375

h= 375÷300

= 1.25m
