Question

Find the area of a trapezoid with bases 14 cm and 18 cm and height 10 cm.

A: 126 cm2

B: 160 cm2

C: 140 cm2

D: 180 cm2

​

Answer 1

The answer is C) 57.46cm2

Explanation:

To find the area of a trapezoid you add together the parallel lines and times the answer by the height. Then you divide it by 2.

Answer 2

The answer is B, 160 cm2

Explanation:

To find the area of a trapezoid we have to use the following equation:

A= 0.5*(b1*b2)*h

a= area

b1: base 1

b2: base 2

h: height

Then,

A= 0.5*(14cm+18cm)*10cm = 160 cm2.
