Question

multiple choice (single select) 12 points given that the midsegment of a trapezoid is 6cm and the height is 10cm, then the area of this trapezoid is ______ cm². a 60 b 65 c 70 d 75

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for trapezoid

The area formula of a trapezoid is $A = m\times h$, where $m$ is the mid - segment and $h$ is the height.

Step2: Substitute given values

We are given that $m = 6$ cm and $h=10$ cm. Substitute these values into the formula: $A=6\times10$.

Step3: Calculate the area

$A = 60$ $cm^{2}$.

Answer:

A. 60
