What is the area of the trapezoid shown? Express your answer in the simplest exact form.
+9 The area of a trapezoid is represented by the formula: \(\frac{a+b}{2}*h\)
Where a and b represent the two bases, and h represents the height.
All we need to do here is plug in the values:
\(\frac{12+15}2{}*6\)
And then solve the expression:
\(\frac{27}{2}*6\)
= 81 cm^2
