Answer:

12.5 units
{}^(2)

Explanation:

Given figure : Trapezoid

Base sides,

a = 2.5

b = 7.5

Height ( h ) = 2.5

Now, finding the area:


(1)/(2) (a + b) * h

Plug the values


= (1)/(2 ) * (2.5 + 7.5) * 2.5

Calculate the sum


= (1)/(2) * 10 * 2.5

Reduce the numbers with G.C.F 2


= 5 * 2.5

Calculate the product


12.5 \: \: {units}^(2)

Hope this helps...

Best regards!
