The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "65.5 centimeters."

(1) Get the height by using the formula of the area of a trapezoid.
Area = (a+b)h / 2
6550 = (115 + 85) h / 2
6550 = 200h/2
6550 = 100h
h = 65.5 centimeters.

So the height has a length of 65.5 centimeters.
