A trading token is in the shape of a trapezoid and has an area of 25 square centimeters. If the bases are 3 and 7 centimeters, What is the height of the token

Respuesta :

Answer:

  5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid gives a relation that can be used to find the height.

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h . . . . b1, b2 are base lengths, h is the height

__

Filling in the given information, we have ...

  25 cm² = 1/2(3 cm +7 cm)h

  25 cm²/(5 cm) = h = 5 cm . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of h

The height of the token is 5 cm.
