The area of an isosceles trapezoid with sides of length 5 and bases of length 10 and 16 is?	Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 48 B) 40 C) 52 D) 54 E) 58
Isosceles trapezoid indicates that if we draw perpendicular from two vertex of the smaller side, the longer side with side 16 will be divided into 3 parts= 10, 3 and 3 (Making one square and two right triangles)   For the right triangle, height will be= (5^2-3^2)^1/2= 4   And the area of trapezoid = 1/2 (B1+B2)H= 1/2*26*4=
