find the area of a trapezoid with height 6 centimeters and bases 8 centimeters and 4 centimeters.
average base = (1/2)(8+4) = 6
6*6 = 36

To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (base1 + base2) * height / 2
In this case, the height is given as 6 centimeters, and the bases are given as 8 centimeters and 4 centimeters.
Substituting these values, we have:
Area = (8 + 4) * 6 / 2
Simplifying, we get:
Area = 12 * 6 / 2
Area = 72 / 2
Area = 36 square centimeters
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 36 square centimeters.
