Question

For a trapezoid with a height of 7 centimeters and base lengths of 6 centimeters and 10 centimeters, the area is

Answer 1

56

Explanation:

`A=(1)/(2) (b1+b2)h\\`

`A=(1)/(2) (6+10)7`

`A=(1)/(2) (16)7`

`A=8*7`

`A=56`

Answer 2

`\bf \textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} a,b=\stackrel{bases}{parallel~sides}\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ a=6\\ b=10\\ h=7 \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{7(6+10)}{2} \\\\\\ A=\cfrac{7(16)}{2}\implies A=7(8)\implies A=56`
