Answer: 480
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadrilateral ABCD is a trapezium
The formula for area of trapezium is
Area of trapezium = 1/2 × (parallel side 1 + parallel side 2) × h
So we can place the given values into the formula.
We get
Area = 1/2 × (9+15) × 40
Area = 1/2 × 24 × 40
By multiplying all of them we get
Area = 480cm
