The area of the trapezoid shown is 60 cm²

Trapezoid

Trapezoid as a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles having only one pair of parallel sides.

The area of a trapezoid is given by:

  • Area = (1/2)(a + b)h

Where h is the height, a, b are the parallel sides.

b = 5 + 5 + 7 = 17 cm, a = 7 cm. Hence:

Area = (1/2)(17 + 7)5 = 60 cm²

The area of the trapezoid shown is 60 cm²
