The area of a trapezoid is given by:

$A=((B_(1)+B_(2))h)/(2) \\ \\ \\ A;Area \\ \\ B_(1):First \ base \\ \\ B_(2)=Second \ base \\ \\ h:Heigth$

So given the equation:

(( 12 + 14 )h)/(2) = 52

We can write a real problem as:

The bases of a trapezoid are
$12cm \ and \ 14cm$ and the area of it is
52cm^2 . What is the height of the trapezoid?

Solving:

$(( 12 + 14 )h)/(2) = 52 \\ \\ 26h=104 \\ \\ h=(104)/(26) \\ \\ h=4cm$

Finally, the height of the trapezoid is 4cm
