The top of a particular desk is shaped like a trapezoid. The bases are 16 inches and 18 inches, and the desk has an area of 102 square inches. Find the height of the desk.

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.

i’m here for points.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
