Question

What is the area of the trapezoid?

A. 120 cm squared
B. 128 cm squared
C. 144 cm squared
D. 176 cm squared

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 128

Answer 2

Answer: B. 128

Explanation:

According to the picture, the parallel side of the trapezoid are a= 10 cm and b = (10+4+8) cm= 22 cm respectively

The perpendicular distance between these parallel sides, h = 8 cm

We know,

 Area of trapezoid = {{(a+b)×h} ÷ 2

={(10+22)×8}÷2

=128
