Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula (Normal Area Trapezoid)
A = (b1 + b2 ) * h / 2
Formula (Trapezoid Modified for the question)
b1 + b2 is given as 90
Area = 90*h / 2
Givens
b1 + b2 = 90
Area = 1170
h = ?
Solution
Area = 90 * h / 2 Substitute the givens into the formula
1170 = 90 * h/ 2 Divide by 2 on the right.
1170 = 45 * h Divide both sides by 45
1170 / 45 = 45 * h/45
Answer: h = 45 inches.
