Diagram related to the question can be found in the attached picture below :
Answer: 6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram attached to the question:
Length AB = 17
Length DC = 8
height (h) = x
Area of trapezium = 75sq units
The Area (A) of a trapezium is given by:
(1/2) × (a + b) × h
Where ;
a and b are the upper and base lengths of the trapezium
h = height of trapezium
A = (1/2) × (a + b) × h
75 = (1/2) * (17 + 8) * x
75 = 0.5*25*x
75 = 12.5x
x = 75 / 12.5
x = 6 units
