Question

What’s the area of this Shape below

Answer 1

12.5 square units

Explanation:

area(trapezoid) = ((b1 + b2)/2)(h)

base 1: 7.5

base 2: 2.5

height: 2.5

area = (10/2)(2.5)

area = (5)(2.5)

area = 12.5

Answer 2

Area of trapezoid: (a+b/2)h

= (7.5+2.5/2)2.5

= (10/2)2.5

= (5)2.5

= 12.5

The area is 12.5

Best of Luck!
