The area of the trapezoid is 40 square units.
what is the height of the trapezoid?
3 units
5 units
10 units
12 units

Hey there!

The area of a trapezoid is h(a+b/2), where h is the height and a and b are the two bases. We already have our area, so let's solve for our height in the equation.

40= x(16/2)

40=8x

x=5

Therefore, the height is B) five units.

I hope this helps!

answer is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

- 70

this is the answer for you hope it

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
