Answer: The answer is: [B]:
__________________________________________________
→ " 32 sq. units " .
__________________________________________________
→ The area of the trapezoid is: " 32 sq. units " .
__________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
__________________________________________________
The formula for the Area, "A" ; of a "trapezoid" is:
A = ½ * (b₁ + b₂) * h ;
_________________________________________________
in which:
" A " ; is the "area" (for which we shall solve) ;
" b₁ " ; is the "base length" (of "one of the bases") of the trapezoid;
" b₂ " ; is the "base length" (of the "other" base) of the trapezoid ;
" h " ; is the "height" [perpendicular height] of the trapezoid ;
_________________________________________________
Now, let us plug in our "given values" into the equation/formula ;
and calculate; to solve for the: area; "A" ; of the "trapezoid" ;
in "sq. units" ;
_________________________________________________
Given:
" b₁ = 6 " ;
" b₂ = 10 " ;
" h = 4 " ;
_________________________________________________
→ A = ½ * (b₁ + b₂) * h ;
→ = ½ * (6 + 10) * 4 ;
→ = ½ * (16) * 4 ;
→ = 8 * 4 ;
→ = 8 * 4 ;
→ A = 32 sq. units ;
________________________________________________
→ The area of the trapezoid is: " 32 sq. units ";
→ which is: Answer choice: [B]: " 32 sq. units " .
