Question

A trapezoid has bases of lengths 30 and 50. Find the trapezoid's height if it's area is 400

Answer 1

Heya Let's Calculate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height be x.

We know that,

Area of trapezoid=
`(1)/(2)`×(p+q)×h

=
`(1)/(2)`×(30+50)x=400 unit²

⇒
`(1)/(2)`×80x=400

⇒40x=400

x=400÷40

=10.

Therefore, the height of the trapezoid is 10 units.
