Answer:

94.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the trapezoid area formula:

[(a+b)/2]×h

a and b represent the bases. h is the height

both bases are 17.5 and 9.5. So plug them in.

17.5 plus 9.5 is 27.

27 divided by 2 is 13.5

Now, multiply 13.5 by the height.

13.5 times 7 is 94.5

[tex]\sf\large\red{ANSWER:-}[/tex]

Here we've been provided with a trapezoid who is having,

  • bases (b) = 17.5 & 9.5

  • height (h) = 7.2

The question they are looking for is what is the area of the given trapezoid. The standard formula to calculate area for trapezoid is given by,

[tex]:\implies\tt{( \frac{a + b}{2} ) \times h}[/tex]

Here,

  • a & b are bases = 17.95 & 9.5

  • h is height = 7.2

Substituting values in formula we get,

[tex]:\implies\tt{( \frac{17.5 + 9.5}{2} ) \times 7.2}[/tex]

[tex]:\implies\tt{( \frac{27}{2} ) \times 7.2}[/tex]

[tex]:\implies\tt{13.5 \times 7.2}[/tex]

[tex]:\implies\tt{94.5}[/tex]

  • The area of the trapezoid is 94.5 cm².
