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?

Answer 1

Answer: C)  $120\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the area of a trapezoid is given by :-

$\text{Area}=\dfrac{1}{2}h(a+b)$, where a and b are the opposite sides of the trapezoid and h is the height.

Now using the given information, we have

$\text{Area}=\dfrac{1}{2}(15)(10+6)\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=120\ cm^2$

Hence, the area of the trapezoid = $120\ cm^2$
