Answer:
64 centimeters squared
Explanation:
Given:
Base of the trapezoid (b) = 10 centimeters
Height of the trapezoid (h) = 8 centimeters
Top side length of the trapezoid (a) = 6 centimeters
To find:
Area of the regular trapezoid
We'll use the below formula to determine the area(A) of the trapezoid;
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{a+b}{2}h \\ =\frac{6+10}{2}*8 \\ =\frac{16}{2}*8 \\ =8*8 \\ =64\text{ centimeters squared} \end{gathered}[/tex]
So the area of the trapezoid of 64 centimeters squared
