Answer
The height of the trapezoid = 3 cm
Explanation
The area of a trapezoid is given as
Area = ½ (a + b) h
where
a and b = base lengths of the trapezoid
a = 9 cm
b = 7 cm
h = height of the trapezoid = ?
Area = 24 cm²
Area = ½ (a + b) h
24 = ½ (9 + 7) h
24 = ½ (16) h
24 = 8h
8h = 24
Divide both sides by 8
(8h/8) = (24/8)
h = 3 cm
Hope this Helps!!!
