Question

A trapezoid has bases that measure 10 cm and 6 cm. The height of the figure is 15 cm. What is the area of the trapezoid?

60 cm?
90 cm?
120 cm
150 cm​

Answer 1

`120~cm^(2)`

Explanation:

`A=((B+b)*h)/(2)\\ \\=((10+6)*15)/(2)\\ \\=(16*15)/(2)\\ \\=8*15\\\\=120~cm^(2)`

Answer 2

Answer: 120 cm.

Step-by-step explanation: First, add the two bases together (10+6) and you'll get 16. Then, multiply the height with the sum of the two bases (15 x 16) and you'll get 240. Now, multiply it with 1/2 (or divide by 2) and you'll get 120. So, 120 cm. is your answer.
