A trapezoid is shown:
What is the area of the trapezoid?

Answer:
Area of trapezoid is:
162 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area(A) of trapezoid is given by:
[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (sum\ of\ parallel\ sides)\times (Height)[/tex]
Here, we are given Height=9 cm
One parallel side=6 cm
Other parallel side=(12+6+12) cm
= 30 cm
Sum of parallel side=(6+30) cm
= 36 cm
Area=[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\times 36\times 9[/tex]
= 162 cm²
Hence, Area of trapezoid is:
162 cm²
