Question

What is the area in square centimeters, of the trapezoid below?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the trapezoid = 82.24 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezoid = $\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h$

Here, $b_1$ and $b_2$ = Bases of the trapezoid

$h$ = Vertical distance between the parallel sides

Length of bases $b_1=6.7$ cm

$b_2=12.5+6.5$ = $19$ cm

$h=6.4$ cm

Area of the given trapezoid = $\frac{1}{2}(6.7+19)\times 6.4$

                                              = $82.24$ cm²
