The dimensions of a trapezoid are 10 13 12 20. What is the area of this trapezoid in square centimeters
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (b1 + b2) * h / 2
where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel bases, and h is the height of the trapezoid.
In this case, b1 = 10, b2 = 20, and h = 13.
Plugging the values into the formula, we get:
Area = (10 + 20) * 13 / 2
= 30 * 13 / 2
= 390 / 2
= 195
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 195 square centimeters.
