Brian cut a piece of cardboard in the shape of a trapezoid the area of the cut out is 43.5 cm² if the bases are 6 cm And 8.5 cm long what is the height of the trapezoid

the height of the trapezoid is 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the area of a trapezoid is expressed as

Area = 1/2(a + b)h

Where

a and b are the length of The bases are the 2 sides of the trapezoid which are parallel with one another.

h represents the height of the trapezoid.

From the information given,

a = 6 cm

b = 8.5 cm

If the area of the cut out is 43.5 cm², then

53.5 = 1/2(6 + 8.5)h

Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes

43.5 × 2 = (6 + 8.5)h

87 = 14.5h

h = 87/14.5 = 6 cm

is means division by fractions

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

because 1/3 is a fraction. we can tell because there is a divisor symbol between the 1 and the 3. if we were to add 2 fractions together, we would add the numerators, which is the number on top, but not the denominators, which is the number on the bottom

1/3+1/3=2/3

hope this !
