Answer:
A = 96 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as
• A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h (b₁ + b₂ )
h is the perpendicular height between the parallel bases b₁ and b₂
here h = 8 cm , b₁ = 6 cm , b₂ = 18 cm , then
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 8 × (6 + 18) = 4 × 24 = 96 cm²
