Answer:

Area = 100 cm²

Explanation:

A trapezium whose parallel sides are of length a and b, and the perpendicular distance between them is h has an area given by the formula

1/2 (a+b)h

In this question, the figure actually comprises of two trapezium which

parallel sides are 18cm and 7cm and height = 4cm

So, area of this figure = 2(1/2 (a+b)h) = (a+b)h

(a+b)h

= (18 + 7)*4

= 100 cm²
