Question

Will give brainliest and all 5 star and thanks

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the shape shown is $12.5units^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

So the formula for solving the area of trapezoids is:

(top base + bottom base) x height ÷ 2

In this case, the equation is:

(7.5 + 2.5) x 2.5 ÷ 2

Let's solve it!

(7.5 + 2.5) x 2.5 ÷ 2 =

10 x 2.5 ÷ 2 =

25 ÷ 2 =

12.5

Which will get 12.5 as an answer.

Since the unit isn't listed, we will just write $unit^2$ instead of $cm^2$ or $in^2$

Answer 2

Answer:

12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

I split the shape into two shapes: one square, and two identical right triangles

The area of the square is a^2 so 2.5^2 so 6.25

The area of the right triangle A=ab/2 we know one side 2.5 and the other side is just 7.5-2.5 and then halved so also 2.5.

The area of this triangle is 3.125*2 because there are 2 then +6.25

=12.5

Edit: Just realized there was a much simpler way to do this lol I just normally can't do math the regular way. You can just do the area of the trapezoid
