Answer:
The area of trapezoid is 72 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A trapezoid with given dimensions.
We have to find the area of trapezoid ABCD.
Consider the given trapezoid ABCD ,
AB = EF = 8 cm
and CE = FD = 4 cm
Then CD = CE + EF + FD = 4 + 8 + 4 = 16 cm
Thus, Area of trapezoid = 
here, height = 6 cm
and sum of parallel sides = AB + CD = 16 + 8 = 24 cm
Thus, Area of trapezoid = 
Simplify, we have,
Area of trapezoid = 72 cm²
Thus, The area of trapezoid is 72 cm²
Perfect squares can be divided and multiplied by the same number to get the same number. For example 25/5=5. 5*5=25.
4/2=2, 2*2=4
1/1=1, 1*1=1
9/3=3, 3*3=9
16/4=4, 4*4=16.
Hence the perfect squares.
