In a rectangular trapezoid, the bases are 6 cm and 10 cm, and the smaller lateral sides are 5 cm, what is the area of the trapezoid?

Since the trapezoid ABCD is rectangular, its lateral side AB is perpendicular to the bases of the trapezoid, and therefore there is the height of the trapezoid.

Then Savsd = (BC + AD) * AB / 2 = (6 +10) * 5/2 = 150 cm2.

Answer: The area of the trapezoid is 150 cm2.
