Asection in a stained glass window is shaped like a trapezoid. the top base is 4 centimeters and the bottom base is 2.5 centimeters long. if the area of the section of glass is 3.9 square centimeters. how tall is the section

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

The section is 1.2 centimeters tall.your welcome
