Question

Find the required measurements of the following trapezoids. base1 = 12 cm base2 = 14 cm height = 8 cm. compute the area. cm2

Answer 1

104

Explanation:

Answer 2

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:
`A= (a+b)/(2) h`

Substitute:
`A= ((12)+(14))/(2)(8)`

Simplify:
`A= (26)/(2)(8) \\ A= 13*8 \\ A=104`

The area of the trapezoid is 104 cm.
