Question

I could use some help

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{50cm^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

The shown figure is a trapezoid

The formula for area of a trapezoid is

$A=\frac{a+b}{2} h$

where a = base 1

b = base 2

h = height

the dimensions given are

13 & 7 - bases

5 - height

so all we have to do is plug in the values into the formula

$A=\frac{7+13}{2} 5\\7+13=20\\\frac{20}{2} = 10\\10*5=50\\A=50$

So we can conclude that the area of the trapezoid is 50 cm²
