I don’t really need a explanation just give answer thanks

Answer 1

We are asked to determine the area of a trapezoid. To do that we will use the following formula:

$A=\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h$

Where:

$\begin{gathered} b_1=\text{ longer base} \\ b_2=\text{ shorter base} \\ h=\text{ height} \end{gathered}$

In the given figure we have the following values:

$\begin{gathered} b_1=6cm \\ b_2=2cm \\ h=3cm \end{gathered}$

We plug in the values in the formula:

$A=\frac{1}{2}(6cm+2cm)(3cm)$

Solving the operations:

$A=12cm^2$

Therefore, the area is 12 square centimeters.
