Answer:

20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cape is trapezoid shaped and has an area of 600 in², the area of a trapezoid is given by

A =1/2(a + b)h where a = length along the top of the cape = 24 in, b =  length along the bottom of the cape = 36 in and h = height of the cape

So, h = 2A/(a + b)

= 2 × 600 in²/(24 in + 36 in)

= 1200 in²/60 in

= 20 in

So, the height of the cape is 20 inches
