Answer 1

Answer: 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

area= 1/2 (2.5+7.5) 2.5

sorry if its not clear enough i dont really know how else to explain it

Answer 2

Answer: The area is 12.5 units squared

Step-by-step explanation: The trapezoid shown has the parallel lines (bases a and b) given and the vertical (perpendicular) height also given.

The area of a trapezoid is calculated as ;

Area = [(a + b)/2] x h

Where a is 2.5, b is 7.5 and h is 2.5

Area = [(2.5 + 7.5)/2] x 2.5

Area = [(10)/2] x 2.5

Area = 5 x 2.5

Area = 12.5 units squared
