Area of a Trapezoid

Medium Geometry Shapes And Properties

In geometry, a trapezoid is defined as a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with at least one pair of parallel sides. If a trapezoid has bases measuring 10 cm and 6 cm, and a height of 4 cm, what is the area of the trapezoid?

Recall that the area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula:

$$ ext{Area} =\frac{1}{2} imes (b_1 + b_2) imes h $$

where $$ b_1 $$ and $$ b_2 $$ are the lengths of the bases and $$ h $$ is the height.

$32 ext{ cm}^2$

$40 ext{ cm}^2$

$26 ext{ cm}^2$

$24 ext{ cm}^2$
