The answer is: [A]: 102 cm² .
__________________________________________________________
Area of a Trapezoid: Area = (1/2) * (base 1 + base 2) * (height) ;
A = (1/2) * (b₁ + b₂) * h ;
________________________________________________
From the figure, "base 1" ; or "b₁" = 6 cm + 7 cm = 13 cm ;
"base 2" ; or "b₂" = 21 cm ;
"height" = 6 cm ;
______________________________________
A = (1/2) * (b₁ + b₂) * h ;
A = (1/2) * (13 cm + 21 cm) * 6 cm ;
A = (1/2) * (34 cm) (6 cm) ;
A = (17 cm) * (6 cm) = 102 cm² ; which is:
