Question

A trapezoid has an altitude of 12 cm. Its parallel sides measure 10 and 8 cm, respectively. What is its area? 216 cm² 108 cm² 960 cm² 120 cm²

Answer 1

108

Explanation:

Answer 2

108 cm^2

Explanation:

A trapezoid has an altitude of 12 cm. Its parallel sides measure 10 and 8 cm, respectively.

The base of trapezoid are 10 and 8 cm

Height of a trapezoid = 12cm

Area of a trapezoid formula =
`(a+b)/(2) * height`

=
`(10+8)/(2) * 12`

=108cm^2
