What is the area of a trapezoid with parallel bases measuring 8 cm and 12 cm, and a height of 5 cm?
✓ Correct Answer: Option B
The area of a trapezoid is A = 0.5 * (base1 + base2) * height. So, A = 0.5 * (8 + 12) * 5 = 0.5 * 20 * 5 = 50 cm².
The area of a trapezoid is A = 0.5 * (base1 + base2) * height. So, A = 0.5 * (8 + 12) * 5 = 0.5 * 20 * 5 = 50 cm².
