Given:
• Upper Base of trapezoid = 8 cm
,• Lower base = 20 cm
,• Length of one leg (also height) = 5 cm
,• Length of other leg = 13 cm
Let's find the area of the trapezoid.
To find the area of the trapezoid, apply the formula:
Where:
A is the area
a is the length of upper base = 8 cm
b is the length of the lower base = 20 cm
h is the height = 5 cm
Plug in the values for a, b, and h to find the area, A:
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 70 cm^2
