Answer:

4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated using the formula

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h(a + b)

where h is the height and a, b the bases

here A = 46, a = 6 and b = 17, hence

46 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h(6 + 17) ( multiply both sides by 2 )

92 = h(23) ← divide both sides by 23 )

h = [tex]\frac{92}{23}[/tex] = 4 units
