what is the area of the trapezoid below 7 cm 8 cm 4 cm
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = 1/2 * (a + b) * h
where 'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the two parallel sides of the trapezoid, and 'h' is the height.
In this case, the lengths of the parallel sides are 7 cm and 8 cm, and the height is 4 cm.
Area = 1/2 * (7 + 8) * 4
Area = 1/2 * 15 * 4
Area = 7.5 * 4
Area = 30 square cm
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 30 square cm.
