Question

What is the area of this trapezoid?

18 cm²

24 cm²

30 cm²

36 cm²

Answer 1

36cm²

Explanation:

Hey There!

So the first thing we need to do is find the area of a trapezoid formula

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

a = base 1

b = base 2

h = hypotenuse

Now we just plug in the values and get

`A = (6+12)/(2) 4`

6+12=18

`(18)/(2) = 9`

9x4=36

So the area of the trapezoid is 36 cm ²

Answer 2

Explanation:

Area = 4(6+12)/2 = 36 sq cm
