    h = 10 m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formula for area of a trapezoid is

    A = (1/2) (B + b) h where B is the bottom base, b is the top base, and h is the height.

    We are given B = 16, b = 14, and A = 15, plug those values in and simplify

    150 = (1/2) (16 + 14) (h)

    150 = (1/2) (30) (h)

    150 = (15) h (half of 30 is 15)

    10 m = h (divide both sides by 15 to isolate h)
