Question

I could use some help

Answer 1

`\boxed{50cm^2}`

Explanation:

Hello There!

The shown figure is a trapezoid

The formula for area of a trapezoid is

`A=(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=(7+13)/(2) 5\\7+13=20\\(20)/(2) = 10\\10*5=50\\A=50`

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