    Answer: the height is 4 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formula for determining the area of cross section of a trapezoid is expressed as

    Area = 1/2 (a + b) h

    Where

    a and b are the length of The bases are the 2 sides of the trapezoid which are parallel with one another.

    h represents the height of the trapezoid.

    From the information given,

    a = 18 feet

    b = 8 feet

    If It has an area of 52 ft.², then

    52 = 1/2 (18 + 8) h

    Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes

    52 * 2 = (18 + 8) h

    104 = 26h

    h = 104/26 = 4 feet
