Sagot :

Answer:

h = 16 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The area of a trapezium, A = 700 m²

The sum of the length of the parallel sides = 70 m

The area of a trapezium is given by :

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \text{sum of parallel sides}\times height\\\\h=\dfrac{2A}{Sum}\\\\=\dfrac{2\times 700}{70}\\\\=20\ m[/tex]

So, the height of the flower bed is 20 m.
