Explanation:

The height of the trapezoidal base is 7.2 ft.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The volume of trapezoidal prism is the area of the cross-section × the length.

Where B is the area of base, H is the length and V is the volume.

The length of the prism is 25.2ft and volume is 1279.152

Hence, the base area is 50.76 ft².

The base is trapezoid.

The area of trapezoid is

Substitute B=50.76, in above formula.

Hence, the height of the trapezoidal base is 7.2 ft.
