Answer:
Area of the trapezoid = [tex]6cm^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a trapezoid:
(1/2)*Sum of parallel opposite sides +Distance between the parallel sides
Parallel sides are: 2 cm and 4 cm
Distance between the parallel sides is 2 cm
Area of the trapezoid:
[tex]=\frac{1}{2}*(2+4)*2\\\\=\frac{1}{2}* 6*2\\\\=\frac{12}{2}\\\\ =6cm^2[/tex]
Area of the trapezoid is [tex]6cm^2[/tex]
