What is the area of the trapezoid?


A. 120 cm squared

B. 128 cm squared

C. 144 cm squared

D. 176 cm squared

What is the area of the trapezoid A 120 cm squared B 128 cm squared C 144 cm squared D 176 cm squared

Answer :

Answer: B. 128

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the picture, the parallel side of the trapezoid are a= 10 cm and b = (10+4+8) cm= 22 cm respectively

The perpendicular distance between these parallel sides, h = 8 cm

We know,

 Area of trapezoid = {{(a+b)×h} ÷ 2

={(10+22)×8}÷2

=128

The answer to your question is 128
