A=1/2h(b1+b2) is the formula for the area of a trapezoid. Rewrite the formula for h, and then find the height of the trapezoid that has an area of 78 square inches and base lengths of 5 inches and 8 inches.

Answer:

Let's neaten up that equation a bit:

trapezoid area = height * (sum of the bases) / 2

height = 2 * area / (short base + long base)

height = 2 * 78 / (5 + 8)

height = 156 / 13

height = 12 inches
