Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the area of a trapezoid with bases of 10 cm and 6 cm, and a height of 4 cm?
  • Step 1: Identify the lengths of the two bases of the trapezoid. Base 1 is 10 cm and Base 2 is 6 cm.
  • Step 2: Identify the height of the trapezoid, which is 4 cm.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for the area of a trapezoid: Area = 1/2 * (base1 + base2) * height.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: Area = 1/2 * (10 + 6) * 4.
  • Step 5: Calculate the sum of the bases: 10 + 6 = 16.
  • Step 6: Multiply the sum of the bases by the height: 16 * 4 = 64.
  • Step 7: Divide the result by 2 to find the area: 64 / 2 = 32.
  • Step 8: The area of the trapezoid is 32 cm².
