Answer:
A = 35 cm²
Explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as
A = h (b₁ + b₂)
where h is the perpendicular height between the bases and b₁, b₂ are the bases.
Here h = 5 , b₁ = 9 and b₂ = 5 , then
A = × 5 × (9 + 5) = 2.5 × 14 = 35 cm²
Area = 35 cm^ 2
Area = 1/2(a+b) x h
1/2 (5+9) x 5
= 35 cm^ 2
