Question

a trapezoid in a coordinated plane has vertices (-2,5) (-3, -2) (2, -2) and (1,5) what is the height of the trapazoid

Answer 1

Answer: 7

Explanation:

If you draw it out, you can visually tell it's 5 units, but you can also tell by looking at the two distinct y values, -2 and 5. The distance between them is 7 units, as you take the absolute value of both of them, then add to get 7.
