Question

how do i get the height of a trapezoid if not given the area. i've done the pythagorean Thearom but i don't know what to do after this

Answer 1

you are given height=6

look at that
a right triangle
legs 2 and 6

a^2+b^2=c^2
2^2+6^2=c^2
4+36=c^2
40=c^2
sqrt both sides
2√10=c

the other one
legs 3 and 6
3^2+6^2=c^2
9+36=c^2
45=c^2
3√5=c

the legnth of the side on the left is 3√5
lefnth of side on righ tis 2√10

Answer 2

i hope this helps you
