    1. To solve this problem you must apply the formula for calcúlate the area of a trapezoid, which is shown below:

    A = (B+b) h/2

    A is the area of the trapezoid (A=24).

    B is the larger base of the trapezoid (B=5).

    b is the smaller base of the trapezoid (b=5).

    h is the height of the trapezoid.

    2. You must clear "h" from the formula:

    A = (B+b) h/2

    2A = (B+b) h

    h=2A / (B+b)

    3. When you susbtitute the values into h=2A / (B+b), you obtain:

    h=2A / (B+b)

    h=2 (24) / (5+3)

    h=48/8

    h=6
