Answer:
Area of Trapezoid is 39 unit²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
For A Trapezoid
The measure of base side 1 = [tex]b_1[/tex] = 10 unit
The measure of base side 2 = [tex]b_2[/tex] = 16 unit
The height of the Trapezoid = h = 3 unit
Let The Area of Trapezoid = A square unit
Now, From Formula
Area of Trapezoid = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] × (sum of opposite base) × height
I.e A = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] × ([tex]b_1[/tex] + [tex]b_2[/tex]) × h
Or, A = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] × (10 unit + 16 unit) × 3 unit
Or, A = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] × (26 unit) × 3 unit
Or, A = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] × 78 unit²
Or, A = [tex]\dfrac{78}{2}[/tex] unit²
I.e A = 39 unit²
So, The Area of Trapezoid = A = 39 unit²
Hence, The Area of Trapezoid is 39 unit² . Answer
