    For the trapezoid, the equation used to solve for the area is,

    A = (0.5) (b₁ + b₂) (h)

    where b₁ and b₂ are the measure of the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values above,

    1224 = (0.5) (70.5 + 65.5) (h)

    h = 18

    Thus, the height of the counter top is 18 inches.
