Q. 4 This figure is composed of a parallelogram and a trapezoid.What is the area of the figure in square centimeters?
Identify dimensions: Step 1: Identify the dimensions of the parallelogram and trapezoid. Assume the parallelogram has a base of 10cm and a height of 5cm. The trapezoid has bases of 6cm and 4cm, and a height of 3cm.
Calculate parallelogram area: Step 2: Calculate the area of the parallelogram using the formula: Area = base × height.Area of parallelogram = 10cm×5cm=50cm2.
Calculate trapezoid area: Step 3: Calculate the area of the trapezoid using the formula: Area = 21×(Base1+Base2)×Height.Area of trapezoid = 21×(6cm+4cm)×3cm=15cm2.
