Answer:

h = 3.6

Explanation:

This is just substituting in for variables and solving for x. The hard part is knowing the formula.

R = h((a+b)/2) where a and b are the 2 different bases, h is the height or latitude, and R is the area of a trapezoid, is the formula.

Given that R = 8.1, a = 1 and b = 3.5, we can substitute these equations in the formula.

(8.1) = h(((1) + (3.5)) / 2)

= h((4.5) / 2)

= h(2.25)

8.1/2.25 = h

3.6 = h
