Answer:

Area = 40mm

Example:

The below-solved example problem may be useful to understand how the values are being used in the mathematical formulas to find the trapezoid area.

Example Problem :

Find the area of a trapezoid having the bottom length a = 15 cm, top length b = 12 & height h = 9 cm?

Solution :

The given values

bottom length a = 15 cm

top length b = 12 cm

height h = 10 cm

Step by step calculation

formula to find area = ((a + b)/2) h

substitute the values

= ((15 + 12)/2) x 9

= 121.5 cm2
