Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a trapezoid with top side as 6 centimeters and bottom side as 10 centimeters. Two perpendicular dotted lines extend from the top vertices to the bottom side and are labeled 6 centimeters each. The two perpendicular lines are denoted by 4 right angle symbols.
What is the area of the quadrilateral?
___cm2

We cannot determine the area of the quadrilateral without knowing the height or the length of the slanted sides.
clearly, the height of the trapezoid is 6. So the area is
(6+10)/2 * 6 = 39
(6+10)/2 * 6 = 39
Thank you for providing additional information. Yes, with the height of the trapezoid being 6 cm, the area would be calculated as:
(6 + 10) / 2 x 6 = 48 cm²
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 48 cm².
(6 + 10) / 2 x 6 = 48 cm²
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 48 cm².
