Answer:

The correct answer is D. 15 squared centimeters.

Explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Base one = 10 centimeters

Base two = 5 centimeters

Height = 2 centimeters

2. Let's find out the area of the trapezoid, using the following formula:

Area = 1/2 (Base one + Base two) * Height

Replacing with real values:

Area = 1/2 (10 + 5) * 2

Area = 1/2 (15 * 2) = 1/2 (30)

Area = 15 centimeters ²

The correct answer is D. 15 squared centimeters.
