A Trapezoid has an area of 150 square feet. the Bases are 14 feet and 16 feet. write an equation to determine the height of the Trapezoid.

Given:

Area = 150 square feet

Bases = 14 feet and 16 feet

Find the height of the trapezoid.

Let us use the formula of finding the Area of a trapezoid to get the value of its height.

A = (a+b) / 2 * h

150 ft² = (14ft + 16ft) / 2 * h

150 ft² = 15ft * h

150 ft² / 15 ft = h

10 ft = h

The height of the trapezoid is 10 feet.
