Trapezoid
What is the area of the quadrilateral?
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) x (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) x (height)
In this case, the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides is 6 cm + 10 cm = 16 cm. The height of the trapezoid is 6 cm.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) x 16 cm x 6 cm = 48 cm²
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 48 square centimeters.
