What is the area of the figure in square centimeters?
4cm
8cm
10cm
The figure is a rectangle, so the area can be calculated using the formula:
Area = length x width
Length = 8 cm
Width = 4 cm
Area = 8 cm x 4 cm = 32 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the figure is 32 square centimeters.
no
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct the calculation:
The figure is a trapezoid since it has two parallel sides of lengths 4 cm and 10 cm. The height of the trapezoid is 8 cm.
The formula to calculate the area of a trapezoid is:
Area = ((a + b) / 2) * h
Where:
a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides
h is the height of the trapezoid
Plugging in the values:
Area = ((4 + 10) / 2) * 8
Area = (14 / 2) * 8
Area = 7 * 8
Area = 56 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the figure is 56 square centimeters.
