Answer:

The correct option is C. 14 ft

Explanation:

To calculate the height, we will follow the steps below;

Formula is given to be: h = 2A / b1 +b2

where h = height of the trapezoid b1 and b2 are the bases of the trapezoid and A is the area of the trapezoid

From the question given;

Area A =329 feet² b1 = 30 feet b2 =17 feet

We can now proceed to insert the values into the formula

h = 2A / b1 +b2

h= 2(329) / 30 + 17

h = 658 /47

h=14 feet
