Answer:

The height of trapezoid is 7km.

Explanation:

Given that the area of trapezoid formula is A = 1/2×(a+b)×h where a and b represents the length and h is the height. By substituing the values, you are able to find the height :


area = (1)/(2) * (a + b) * h

Let a = 4km,

Let b = 8km,

Let area = 42km²,


42 = (1)/(2) * (4 + 8) * h


42 = (1)/(2) * 12 * h


42 = 6 * h


6h = 42


h = 7 \: km
