Answer: 288cm²
Explanation:
In the given trapezoid, there are 2 right angled triangles and 1 rectangles.
So,
area of trapezoid
=area of 2 right angled triangles +1 rectangle
=2×[16×3]/2 + 15×16
=48+240
=288 cm²
Note:
Area of right angled triangle
=(base× height)/2
&,
Area of rectangle
= length ×breadth
