The area of the trapezoid is 108 in2.

What is the height of the trapezoid?


The Area Of The Trapezoid Is 108 In2 What Is The Height Of The Trapezoid class=

Sagot :

area for a trapezoid is A= a+b/2 times h  (a and b are the bases which are 8 and 10 

so 108=8+10/2 x h 8+10 divided by 2 equals 9 so now we have 108=9 x h

now we must divide both sides by 9 to solve for the height 108/9 equals 12 so the height of the trapezoid is 12

The area of the trapezoid is given by the formula A= (a+b)/ 2 * h

in this question a= 8, b= 10, A= 108 inches², and h is what we have to find, substitute what we have got into the formula and you will have:

108= (8+10) /2 *h

108= 9 *h

h= 108/9

h= 12 inches
