If X = 2 centimeters, Y = 6 centimeters, and Z = 6 centimeters, what is the area of the object?
A.
36 square centimeters
B.
48 square centimeters
C.
24 square centimeters
D.
40 square centimeters

Answer 1

Area of a trapezoid = ((a+b)/2) * h
a = x + x
b = z + z
h = y

A = ((4 + 12)/2) * 6
A = ((16)/2) *6
A = 8 * 6
A = 48

answer is B
