Find the area so on the bottom we have 9 cm in the middle we have the length is 10 cm and on the top the length is 4 cm so what’s the total area
To find the total area, we need to divide the shape into two separate trapezoids.
First trapezoid:
- Bottom base: 9 cm
- Top base: 10 cm
- Height: 4 cm
Area of the first trapezoid = (1/2) * (bottom base + top base) * height
Area = (1/2) * (9 + 10) * 4
Area = (1/2) * 19 * 4
Area = 38 cm²
Second trapezoid:
- Bottom base: 10 cm
- Top base: 4 cm
- Height: 4 cm
Area of the second trapezoid = (1/2) * (bottom base + top base) * height
Area = (1/2) * (10 + 4) * 4
Area = (1/2) * 14 * 4
Area = 28 cm²
Total area = Area of first trapezoid + Area of second trapezoid
Total area = 38 cm² + 28 cm²
Total area = 66 cm²
Therefore, the total area of the shape is 66 cm².
