trapezoid
What is the area of the quadrilateral?

1 answer

To find the area of the trapezoid, we can use the formula:

Area = (1/2) * (a + b) * h

Where:
a = length of the top side = 24 cm
b = length of the bottom side = 10 cm
h = height of the trapezoid = 20 cm

Plugging in the values, we get:
Area = (1/2) * (24 + 10) * 20
Area = (1/2) * 34 * 20
Area = 17 * 20
Area = 340 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 340 square centimeters.
