What is the area, in square centimeters, of the trapezoid below?
8 cm
7 cm
14.9 cm
6.4 cm
The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is (1/2) * (a + b) * h, where a and b are the lengths of the two parallel sides and h is the height.
In this case, the two parallel sides are 8 cm and 14.9 cm, and the height is 7 cm.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (8 + 14.9) * 7
Area = (1/2) * (22.9) * 7
Area = 11.45 * 7
Area = 80.15 square centimeters
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 80.15 square centimeters.
