what is the area in square centimeters, of the trapezoid below?

Answer:
Area of the trapezoid = 82.24 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a trapezoid = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h[/tex]
Here, [tex]b_1[/tex] and [tex]b_2[/tex] = Bases of the trapezoid
[tex]h[/tex] = Vertical distance between the parallel sides
Length of bases [tex]b_1=6.7[/tex] cm
[tex]b_2=12.5+6.5[/tex] = [tex]19[/tex] cm
[tex]h=6.4[/tex] cm
Area of the given trapezoid = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(6.7+19)\times 6.4[/tex]
= [tex]82.24[/tex] cm²
