I'll be glad to check your answer.
182 cm ²
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (a + b) * h / 2
where a and b are the lengths of the bases, and h is the height.
In this case, the length of the first base (a) is 14 cm, the length of the second base (b) is 18 cm, and the height (h) is 10 cm.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Area = (14 + 18) * 10 / 2
Simplifying further:
Area = 32 * 10 / 2
Area = 320 / 2
Area = 160 cm²
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 160 cm².
