Answer:
Altitude of the trapezoid is 2 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
ABCD is a trapezoid. Since two bases of the trapezoid are
B1 = 2.5 cm and B2 = 4 cm.
Area given is 6.5 cm²
Then we have to calculated he altitude of the trapezoid.
Now we know the formula of area of the trapezoid = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( Base1 + Base2)
By putting the values in the formula
6.5 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( 2.5 + 4 ) × h
6.5 = [tex]\frac{6.5}{2}[/tex] × h
h = \frac{2\times 6.5}{6.5} = 2 cm.
Answer is altitude of the trapezoid is 2 cm.
