Answer: 357 cm²

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, were asked to find the area of the trapezoid shown. Remember that a trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is shown below

The b's are the bases or the parallel sides and the h represents the height.

So in the trapezoid shown, the bases are 15 cm and 27 cm and the height is 17 cm.

Plugging this information into the formula, we have .

Next, the order of operations tells us that we must simplify inside the parentheses first. 15 cm + 27 cm is 42 cm and we have

1/2 × 42 cm is 21 cm and we have (21 cm)(17 cm) which is 357 cm².

So the area of the trapezoid shown is 357 cm².

Alex73 [517]

It’s 18x because 36 and 54 are both divisible by 18, and 18 can be divisible by 18 (making 1), resulting in 18 being the most common number between the numbers, whereas the ‘x’ is common between all 3 numbers and since the least amount of x is 1, the answer is just x without an exponent
