Question

What is the area of this figure?

Select from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the statement. The area of the figure is ______cm².

Answer 1

Answer: 102

-----------------------------------------------

We'll use the formula
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
where
A = area of trapezoid
h = height
b1 & b2 are the parallel bases

In this case,
b1 = 6+7 = 13
b2 = 21
h = 6

Making the area to be
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
A = 6*(13+21)/2
A = 6*(34)/2
A = 204/2
A = 102

Side Note: We don't use the slanted side of 10 cm at all
