Answer:

The area of trapezoid is 42 square unit.

Explanation:

According to the question

A trapezoid which is consist of many square shapes and each grid square equals 2 units . We need to find the area of trapezoid.

To calculate the area of trapezoid we have given :-

  • Base ; SK = 4 and OC = 10
  • Height ; OS = 6
  • Formula for finding area of trapezoid is ½ × (Base 1 + Base 2) × Height .

Finding the area of trapezoid :-

Area of trapezoid = ½ × ( 4 + 10 ) × 6

  • Add 4 and 10.

Area of trapezoid = ½ × 14 × 6

  • Multiply 14 by 10.

Area of trapezoid = ½ × 84

  • Divide by 2.

Area of trapezoid = 42

Hence,

The area of trapezoid is 42 square unit.
