Answer:

the height of the cross section is 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the height of the cross section is shown below:

Area = 1 ÷ 2 × (a + b) × h

39 = 1 ÷ 2 × (20 + 6) × h

39 =  1 ÷2 × 26 × h

39  = 26 ÷ 2 × h

39 = 13 × h

h = 39 ÷ 13

= 3 feet

hence, the height of the cross section is 3 feet
