a lawn in the shape of a trapezoid has an area of 1,833 square meters. the length of one base is 52 meters, and the length of the other base is 42 meters. what is the height of the trapezoid?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'h' represent the height of the trapezoid.
b1 = 42 m
b2 = 52 m
A = 1,833 m^2 is the area of the trapezoid
The formula for the area is:
A = (1/2)(b1 + b2)h
(1/2)(42 + 52)h = 1833
