A tabletop in the shape of a trapezoid has an area of 5,658 square centimeters. Its longer base measures 119 centimeters, and the shorter base is 65 centimeters. What is the height?
The height of the tabletop is
centimeters.
The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is: sum of bases*height*1/2 By plugging in the information that we already have, we know: (119+65)*height*1/2=5658 184*1/2*height=5658 92*height=5658 height=61.5cm.
