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.

Answer 1

Answer:

56 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is

$A=\frac{1}{2}[b_1+b_2]h$

we have

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

substitute in the formula

$A=\frac{1}{2}[6+10]7\\\\A=\frac{1}{2}[16]7\\\\A=(8)7=56\ cm^2$
