Answer:

68 square centimeters.

Explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is calculated using the following formula:


\sf Area = (1)/(2) * \textsf{ (Base 1 + Base 2) }* Height

Where:

  • Base 1 is the length of the first base of the trapezoid
  • Base 2 is the length of the second base of the trapezoid
  • Height is the distance between the parallel bases of the trapezoid

In this case:

we have:

  • Base 1 = 11 cm
  • Base 2 = 6 cm
  • Height = 8 cm

Now,

Substitute the value, we get


\sf Area = (1)/(2) * (11 cm + 6 cm)* 8 cm

While calculating, we get


\sf Area = 17cm* 4


\sf Area = 68 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 68 square centimeters.
