Question

What is the area of the regular trapezoid below? - 6 cm T 8 cm 10 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

Area = 64 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area, we have to follow some steps:

=> Step 1: Make the bases similar:

Since we have 2 bases given 6 and 10 we have to come up with a third base by finding their average:

(6 + 10) / 2

(16) / 2

8

So now that we know our base,

=> Our second step is to multiply the base we found by the height of the trapezoid:

Area = common base * height

Area = 8 * 8

Area = 64 cm²

Hope this helps!
