The bases of the trapezoid are 15 and 1, the area is 128. Find the height.

1) A trapezoid is a quadrangle in which two sides are parallel and the other two sides are not parallel. The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezoid, and the other two are called the sides.
2) Formula of area in terms of bases and height: S = ((a + b) / 2) * h.
3) In the problem statement, it is said that the bases of the trapezoid are 15 and 1, which means a = 15, b = 1. The area is also known and is equal to 128.
Substitute the known values into the formula: 128 = ((15 + 1) / 2) * h; 128 = 8 * h; h = 16
Answer: The height of the trapezoid is 16.
