Question

What is the area in square centimeters, of the trapezoid below?​

Answer 1

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

`h` = Vertical distance between the parallel sides

Length of bases
`b_1=6.7` cm

`b_2=12.5+6.5` =
`19` cm

`h=6.4` cm

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

=
`82.24` cm²
