Answer: C)  [tex]120\ cm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the area of a trapezoid is given by :-

[tex]\text{Area}=\dfrac{1}{2}h(a+b)[/tex], where a and b are the opposite sides of the trapezoid and h is the height.

Now using the given information, we have

[tex]\text{Area}=\dfrac{1}{2}(15)(10+6)\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=120\ cm^2[/tex]

Hence, the area of the trapezoid = [tex]120\ cm^2[/tex]
