Given:

The length of the bases of the trapezoid


\begin{gathered} KL=a=12cm \\ \\ OM=b=16cm \end{gathered}

Height of the trapezoid:


LN=h=8cm

Required:

The area of trapezoid KLMO

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of trapezoid is given by


A(trapezoid)=(a+b)/(2)* h

Substituting the given values in the above equation we get


\begin{gathered} A(trapezoid\text{ }KLMO)=(a+b)/(2)* h \\ \\ A(trapezoid\text{ }KLMO)=(12+16)/(2)*8=(28)/(2)*8=14*8=112cm^2 \end{gathered}

Final answer:

The area of trapezoid KLMO is 112 sq.cm
