A trapezoid is a polygon. Therefore, a trapezoid has no height
Area of a trapezoid: 0.5*(sum of its parallel sides)*height
For a parallelogram, take the base times the height. For a trapezoid, take the smaller base and times it by the height.
Area of a trapezoid = 0.5*(sum of parallel sides)*height
If the height of the trapezoid is 9 and the base is 26, then it appears likely to us that the base is 26.
