Answer 1

Given:

The base of trapezoid is 4cm and 6cm.

The height is 5 cm.

Required:

To find the area of the trapezoid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of trapezoid is,

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

Here, a and b are bases and h is height.

Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} A=((4+6))/(2)*5 \\ =(10)/(2)*5 \\ =5*5 \\ =25sqcm \end{gathered}`

Final Answer:
