Blank Space__________cm²
This is an illustration of a trapezoid labeled with base and height measurements with a base of six centimeters, a base of eight centimeters, and a height of five and five tenths centimeters.
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (base1 + base2) * height / 2
In this case, the base1 is 6 cm, base2 is 8 cm, and the height is 5.5 cm.
Substituting these values into the formula gives:
Area = (6 cm + 8 cm) * 5.5 cm / 2
Area = 14 cm * 5.5 cm / 2
Area = 77 cm²
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 77 cm².
