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: 120 cm.

Step-by-step explanation: First, add the two bases together (10+6) and you'll get 16. Then, multiply the height with the sum of the two bases (15 x 16) and you'll get 240. Now, multiply it with 1/2 (or divide by 2) and you'll get 120. So, 120 cm. is your answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

$120~cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$A=\frac{(B+b)*h}{2}\\ \\=\frac{(10+6)*15}{2}\\ \\=\frac{16*15}{2}\\ \\=8*15\\\\=120~cm^{2}$
