A 13.02 cm213.02 cm 2
B 8.99 cm28.99 cm 2
C 6.51 cm26.51 cm 2
D 11.89 cm2
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (a + b) * h
where a is the length of the top base, b is the length of the bottom base, and h is the height of the trapezoid.
In this case, the length of the top base is 3 cm, the length of the bottom base is 10 cm, and the height is 2 cm.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Area = (1/2) * (3 + 10) * 2
= (1/2) * 13 * 2
= 13 * 1
= 13 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 13 cm^2.
So the correct answer is A) 13.02 cm^2.
