the area of a trapezoid is 45 square centimeters. the bases of the trapezoid are 10 centimeters and 8 centimeters what is the height of the trapezoid?

Area = h * (b1 + b2)/2

Plug in you values and solve for h.

h=b2+7

To find the height of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:

Area = (1/2) * (base1 + base2) * height

Let's plug in the values given in the problem:

Area = 45 cm^2
Base1 = 10 cm
Base2 = 8 cm

We need to find the height, so let's rearrange the formula:

height = (2 * Area) / (base1 + base2)

Substituting the values:

height = (2 * 45) / (10 + 8)
height = 90 / 18
height = 5 cm

Therefore, the height of the trapezoid is 5 centimeters.

just add 8 and 10 and divide it by 45
