Hi there! :)


\large\boxed{A = 12.5 \text{ units}^(2)}

Find the area of the shape using the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

A = 1/2(b1 + b2) · h

Where:

b1 = base 1

b2 = base 2

h = height

A = area

Plug in the given bases and height:

A = 1/2(7.5 + 2.5) · 2.5

Simplify:

A = 1/2(10) · 2.5

A = 5 · 2.5

A = 12.5 units²
