Question

The trapezoid below has an area of 475 square meters.

Which eauation could you solve to find the height of the trapezoid?

Answer 1

23h=475

Explanation:

Answer 2

Data:
B (Larger base) = 28 m
b (Minor base) = 18 m
h (height) = ?
A (area) = 475 m²

Formula:

`A = ((B+b)*h)/(2)`

Substitute:

`475 = ((28+18)*h)/(2)`

`475 = (\diagup\!\!\!\!\!46^(23)*h)/(\diagup\!\!\!\!2^1)\:\:\to\:\:\:475 = 23*h\:\:or\:\:\boxed{\boxed{23h = 475}}`

Answer:

`\textcircled{ A } 23h = 475`
