Question

If the area of the trapezoid below is 98 square units,what is the value of x?

Plz help!

Answer 1

Answer: 7 units apex

Explanation:

Answer 2

Area of Trapezoid is = 1/2 x height x (base1 + base2)

Here, Area = 98, base1 = 8, base2 = 20 and height = unknown (x)

So, 1/2 x height x (8+20) = 98
==> 1/2 x height x 28 = 98
==> height x 14 = 98
==> height = 98/14
==> height = 7 units

So, the final answer is --> the value of x = 7 units
