Of the two parallel sides of a trapezium, one is 5 cm longer than the other. Find the height of the trapezium if the longer side is 12 cm and its area is 57 cm2.
Formula is: A=h*(a+b)/2 where a and b are the two parallel sides.
This gives 57=h*(12+(12-5))/2
h=....
b=7
a=12
57=h(12+7)/2
h=57*2/19
h=6
