Question

A trapezoid has bases that measure 10cm and 6cm. The height of the figure is 15cm. What is the area of the trapezoid?

60,90,120,150

Answer 1

Hello!

To find the area of a trapezoid you use the equation


`A = (a+b)/(2) h`

A is area
h is height
a and b are the bases

Put in the values we know


`A = (10+6)/(2) *15`

Add


`A = (16)/(2) *15`

Divide


`A = 8 * 15`

Multiply

A = 120

The answer is 120cm squared

Hope this helps!
