The lengths of the bases of the right trapezoid are 9 cm and 18 cm. the length of a longer leg is 15 cm. find the area of the trapezoid.

Firstly, we will draw figure

now, we will draw a altitude from B to DC that divides trapezium into rectangle and right triangle

because of opposite sides of rectangle ABMD are congruent

so,

DM=AB=9

CM=CD-DM

CM=18-9

CM=9

now, we can find BM by using Pythagoras theorem

now, we can plug values

we get

now, we can find area of trapezium

now, we can plug values

and we get

so, area of of the trapezoid is ..........Answer
