Answer:

20

Explanation:

Hello There!

So first we need to determine what the formula for area of a trapezoid is


A=(a+b)/(2) h

where a and b = bases and h = height

the given information is the area and the two bases

so we plug in the given information and solve for h


180=(4+14)/(2) h\\4+14=18\\(18)/(2) =9\\180=9h

divide each side by 9


(180)/(9) =20\\(9h)/(9) =h

we're left with

h=20

so we can conclude that the height is 20
