Answer:

Area of the trapezoid = 82.24 cm²

Explanation:

Area of a trapezoid =
(1)/(2)(b_1+b_2)h

Here,
b_1 and
b_2 = Bases of the trapezoid

= Vertical distance between the parallel sides

Length of bases
b_1=6.7 cm

b_2=12.5+6.5 =
cm

h=6.4 cm

Area of the given trapezoid =
(1)/(2)(6.7+19)* 6.4

=
82.24 cm²
