Question

Area of trapezoids ​

Answer 1

The formula for the area of a trapezoid with base lengths $a$ and $b$ and with a height of $h$ is:

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times h\times(a+b)$

The height is 6 cm and the two base lengths are 4 cm and 6 cm

$A=\dfrac{1}{2} \times 6 \times (4+6)$

$=3\times10$

$=30$

The trapezoid has an area of 30 square centimeters. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
