trapezoid area and perimeter problem 2

calculate the height


A trapezoid has an area of 315 square centimeters.
The two base lengths are: a is 24 centimeters and c is 18 centimeters.
Calculate the height of area!

 

answer:


A = (a + c) * h : 2 

 
315 = (24 + 18) * h : 2     / * 2
 
630 = 42 * h    / : 42
 
h = 15 cm
 
A: The height h of the trapezoid is 15 cm.
