Help me with this! i am confuseddddddd!!

Answer 1

Answer:

73.5 $cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area is in the shape of a trapezoid, so to find the area all we have to do is use the formula

$A = \frac{a + b}{2} h$ , where h is height, a is base 1, and b is base 2.

Plugging in the values, work on solving this equation:

$A = \frac{(9) + (12)}{2}(7)$

---------------Math Skip---------------------

We should be left with

$A = \frac{21}{2}(7) = 10.5 (7) = 73.5 cm^{2}$
