Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is (b1 + b2)/2 * h, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two bases and h is the height. In this case, we know that the area is 66 square feet and the bases are 8 and 14 feet. Plugging in these values, we get:
66 = (8 + 14)/2 * h
66 = 11 * h
h = 6
Therefore, the height of the trapezoid is 6 feet. Answer choice C) is correct. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = (1/2)(b1 + b2)h, where b1 and b2 are the bases and h is the height. Plugging in the given values, we get 66 = (1/2)(8 + 14)h. Solving for h, we get h = 6. Therefore, the height of the trapezoid is 6 feet, which corresponds to choice C.
