Question

If a trapezoid has bases of 15 and 12, and has an area of 67.5, what is the height?

Answer 1

All you have to do here is divide 67.5 by 15 first, then divide that number by 12.

Answer 2

So what do you think the answer is?

Answer 3

If you need help just ask me

Answer 4

By the way, the formula for a trapezoid is "Area=1/2 height(base 1+base 2)"

Answer 5

^That is how to get the area, not how to get the height from the area =P

Answer 6

Yes, but you'll need to find the height to get the area

Answer 7

which is a given area

Answer 8

Although, looking at it now, he was indeed wrong.

You would calculate it like this
\(H=2\times[a\div(B1+B2)]\)
H=2*(Area/(Base1+Base2))

So in this instance it would have been
H=2*(67.5/(15+12))

Answer 9

I had it backwards, but still got the answer right...
