I’m really confused, please give an easy and understanding answer.

Answer 1

4meters

Explanation:

friend ,for you to calculate this question you have to know the formula which is 1/2 h (a + b) x height. then use the procedure written in the picture of which you should end up dividing as I have then you will eventually get your answer but the key point is that you should know the formula and the number at the right side is the one dividing the area (37.4) not the area dividing the number at the right side which is 9.35 good day.
