Question

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2 h(b1 + b2), where A = area, h = height, b1 = base 1, and b2 = base 2.

For a trapezoid with a height of 7 centimeters and base lengths of 6 centimeters and 10 centimeters, the area is
square centimeters.

56
11.5
210

Answer 1

56 square centimeters

Explanation:

we know that

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is

`A=(1)/(2)[b_1+b_2]h`

we have

`h=7\ cm\\b_1=6\ cm\\b_2=10\ cm`

substitute in the formula

`A=(1)/(2)[6+10]7\\\\A=(1)/(2)[16]7\\\\A=(8)7=56\ cm^2`
