Question

What is the area of the trapezoid?asap

Answer 1

A=a+b/2 h(a is the top, b is the bottom)

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to evaluate for the area of a trapezoid , we need to identify the parameters given so as to substitute correctly.

the formlae for finding the area of a trapezoid

= (a +b) h/2

given that a = 10cm

b = 12cm

h = 16cm

area of a trapezoid= (a +b) hcm/2

area of a trapezoid= (10cm +12cm) 16cm/2

area of a trapezoid= (22cm)8cm

area of a trapezoid=  176cm²

therefore the area of the trapezoid is evaluated to be 176cm²
