Solution:

The area of a trapezoid is expressed as


A=((b_1+b_2))/(2)* h

Given the trapezoid below:

where


\begin{gathered} b_1=6 \\ b_2=11 \\ h=8 \end{gathered}

By substitution, we have


\begin{gathered} Area=((6+11))/(2)*8 \\ =(17)/(2)*8 \\ =68\text{ square centimeters} \end{gathered}

Hence, the area of the trapezoid is


68\text{ square centimeters}
