Area of Trapezoid is = 1/2 x height x (base1 + base2)
Here, Area = 98, base1 = 8, base2 = 20 and height = unknown (x)
So, 1/2 x height x (8+20) = 98 ==> 1/2 x height x 28 = 98 ==> height x 14 = 98 ==> height = 98/14 ==> height = 7 units
So, the final answer is --> the value of x = 7 units

To find the value of x , we use the area formula for a trapezoid, leading to x = 7 units as the height of the trapezoid. This was calculated based on the given area of 98 square units. The trapezoid has bases of 8 and 20 units.
