    Step-by-step explanation:

    formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is 1/2 (a+b) x h

    a and b stand for the two bases

    h stands for the height

    79.2 cm = 1/2 (48 + 15) x h (which is unknown)

    79.2 cm² = 1/2 (63) x h

    79.2 cm² = 31.5 (h)

    you multiply both sides of the equal sign by 1/31.5

    1/31.5 x 79.2cm² = 31.5 (h) x 1/31.5

    1/31.5 x 31.5 = 1 which is constant

    1/31.5 x 79.2cm² = h

    2.514285714 cm = h

    the height of the trapezoid is 2.514285714cm
