Hello, so the equation for the area of a trapezoid is A = (a+b)*(h/2)
In which, a is one of the bases, b is the other base, and h is the height. A is the Area. If you wanna solve for height, rearrange the equation to what h equals.
First divide (a+b) from both sides
A/(a+b) = h/2
Now multiply 2 on both sides
2(A/(a+b)) = h
Now you have it rearranged equal to just h. Plug in the values now.
2(3.9/(4+2.5)) = h
2(3.9/(6.5)) = h
2(.6) = h
1.2 = h
