Answer:
A = 105 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of the trapezoid is calculated as
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] [ (b₁ + b₂)h ]
where h is the height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases
Here h = 5 , b₁ = 24 and b₂ = 18 , then
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] [ (24 + 18)5 ]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (42 × 5)
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 210
= 105 cm²
