Trapazoid is top 4 cm right side 6 cm left side is 9cn. Bottom is 5 cm with a dotted line straight across. Find area of the quadrilaterals

1 answer

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

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

where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the height of the trapezoid.

In this case, the lengths of the parallel sides are 6 cm and 9 cm, and the height is 4 cm.

So, the area of the trapezoid is:

Area = ((6 + 9) / 2) * 4
Area = (15 / 2) * 4
Area = 7.5 * 4
Area = 30 square cm

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 30 square cm.
