Answer:

84

Explanation:

The bases of a trapezoid have lengths 10 and 18. If the height of the trapezoid is 6, what is the area of the trapezoid

The area of a trapezoid is given as:

1/2(b1 + b) × h

Where:

b1 = Base 1 = 10

b2= Base 2 = 18

h = Height = 6

Therefore, the area of a trapezoid =

1/2 (10 + 18) × 6

= 28/2 × 6

= 84

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid = 84
