Question

Find the required measurements of the following trapezoids.

a=8 cm
b= 16 cm
h=12 cm
Compute the area.
cm2

Answer 1

Hence, the area of trapezoid is 12 cm²

Explanation:

Answer 2

Area of trapezoid = 144 cm²

Explanation:

The length of parallel sides are,

a = 8 cm

b = 16 cm

h = 12 cm

Formula area of trapezoid:-

`A=(1)/(2)(a+b)* h`

`A=(1)/(2)(8+16)* 12`

`A=144`

Hence, the area of trapezoid is 144 cm²
