The height of the trapezoid is 6 cm
How to find the height?
The given parameters are:
Bases = 5cm and 9cm
Area = 42 square cm
The height is calculated using
Area = 0.5 * (Sum of bases) * Height
So, we have:
42 = 0.5 * (5 + 9)* Height
This gives
42 = 7* Height
Divide through by 7
Height= 6
Hence, the height of the trapezoid is 6 cm
