Question

A figure is shown.

4 cm
7 cm
10 cm
2 cm
3 cm
6 cm
Which expression shows how to find the area of the figure?

Answer 1

Then it is just a matter of plugging in the values into the formula. For example, if one base is 6 cm long, the other is 10 cm long and the height is 4 cm, the area is then (6 + 10) / 2 x 4 = 16 / 2 x 4 = 8 x 4 = 32 cm 2 (32 square centimeters).
