Hello!

To find the area of a trapezoid you use the equation

[tex] A = \frac{a+b}{2} h[/tex]

A is area
h is height
a and b are the bases

Put in the values we know

[tex]A = \frac{10+6}{2} *15[/tex]

Add

[tex]A = \frac{16}{2} *15[/tex]

Divide

[tex]A = 8 * 15[/tex]

Multiply

A = 120

The answer is 120cm squared

Hope this helps!
