What is the area of the figure in square centimeters on the base? It's 10 cm on the side. It's 4 cm and on the top. It's 8 cm so what is the area of the figure and square centimeters
The figure appears to be a trapezoid, with one base length of 10 cm, another base length of 4 cm, and a height of 8 cm.
The area of a trapezoid can be calculated using the formula: Area = ((b1 + b2) * h) / 2, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two bases, and h is the height.
Substituting in the given values, we get: Area = ((10 + 4) * 8) / 2 = (14 * 8) / 2 = 112 / 2 = 56 square centimeters.
Therefore, the area of the figure on the base is 56 square centimeters.
