Find the area of this trapezoid. h = 6 cm
b1 = 8 cm
b2 = 12 cm


Sagot :

[tex]A=\frac{(B+b)*h}{2} \\\\ A=\frac{(8+12)*\not 6}{\not 2} \\\\ A=(8+12)*3 \\\\ A=20*3 \\\\ \boxed{A=60 cm^2}[/tex]
Use the trapezoid formula:
A=0.5h(b1+b2)
Since we have given measurements, substitute
A=0.5(6 cm)(8 cm+12 cm)
A=(3 cm)(20 cm)
A=60 cm²

Hope this helps =)
