A trapezoid is given with base lengths of 10m and 14m, and a height of 9m.
It is required to find the area of the trapezoid.
Recall that the area of a trapezoid with base lengths b₁, b₂, and height h is given by:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h[/tex]
Substitute b₁=14, b₂=10, and h=9 into the formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}(14+10)\cdot9 \\ \Rightarrow A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot24\cdot9=108 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the required area is 108 m².
The answer is 108 m².
