To find the area of a trapezoid, we use the following formula:
[tex]a = \frac{1}{2} (b1 + b2) \times h[/tex]
In this formula a represents the area and b1 and b2 each represent a base of the trapezoid.
So, we have got the following information
[tex]a = 150[/tex]
[tex]b1 = 14[/tex]
[tex]b2 = 16[/tex]
Filling in the formula gives us:
[tex]150 = \frac{{1} }{2} \times (14 + 16) \times h[/tex]
[tex]150 = \frac{1}{2} \times 30 \times h[/tex]
[tex]150 = 15 \times h[/tex]
Finally we have to divide both sides by 15.
[tex]h = 150 \div 15 = 10[/tex]
Therefore, the height of the trapezoid is 10 meters.
