Answer:

(c) 935x cm²

Explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula ...

A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel bases, and h is the distance between them.

__

The diagram shows base lengths of 32 and 53 cm, and the distance between the as 22x cm. Using these values in the formula, we find the area to be ...

A = 1/2(32 cm +53 cm)(22x cm) = 935x cm² . . . . matches the 3rd choice
