If a trapezoid has bases 6 and 10 with height 4, what is its area?
Correct Answer:
32
Explanation:
The area of a trapezoid is found by multiplying the height by the average of the two bases. Here, the bases are 6 and 10, so their average is (6 + 10) / 2 = 8. Multiply by the height 4: 8 × 4 = 32. So the area is 32 square units. You can also see this by splitting the trapezoid into a rectangle (width 6, height 4) with area 24 and a triangle on the side (base 4, height 4) with area 8; 24 + 8 = 32.
