Answer 1

Pick one

Answer 2

To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:

Area = (1/2) * (base1 + base2) * height

In this case, base1 is 10 cm, base2 is 15 cm, and the height is 12 cm. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Area = (1/2) * (10 cm + 15 cm) * 12 cm
= (1/2) * (25 cm) * 12 cm
= 12.5 cm * 12 cm
= 150 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 150 cm^2. None of the given answer choices match this, so none of the options are correct.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Given the dimensions of the trapezoid, base1 = 10 cm, base2 = 15 cm, and the height = 12 cm, let's calculate the area:

Area = (1/2) * (base1 + base2) * height
= (1/2) * (10 cm + 15 cm) * 12 cm
= (1/2) * 25 cm * 12 cm
= 300 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 300 cm^2. The closest answer choice is D) 360 cm^2.
