The height is 6 cm
Answered by GPT 3.5
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:

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

Where:
a = length of the bottom base
b = length of the top base
h = height of the trapezoid

Plugging in the given values:
a = 10 cm
b = 6 cm
h = (height not given)

Since the height is not given, we cannot calculate the exact area of the trapezoid.

Great! Now that we have the height, we can calculate the area of the trapezoid using the formula:

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

Plugging in the values:
a = 10 cm
b = 6 cm
h = 6 cm

Area = (1/2) * (10 + 6) * 6
Area = (1/2) * 16 * 6
Area = (1/2) * 96
Area = 48 square cm

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 48 square cm.
