The dimensions of a trapezoid are 4.1 cm 2.1 cm 2.1 cm. What is the area of the trapezoid in square centimeters
To find the area of a trapezoid, you need to know the length of the bases and the height. The formula to calculate the area of a trapezoid is given by:
Area = (a + b) * h / 2
Where 'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the bases and 'h' is the height.
In this case, the lengths of the bases are 4.1 cm and 2.1 cm, and the height is 2.1 cm.
Area = (4.1 + 2.1) * 2.1 / 2
= 6.2 * 2.1 / 2
= 13.02 / 2
= 6.51 cm²
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 6.51 square centimeters.
