To find the area of a trapezoid, you use the formula:
Area = [(sum of the bases) / 2] x height
In this case, the bases are 5in and 12in, and the height is 3in.
So, plugging in those values:
Area = [(5+12) / 2] x 3
Area = (17 / 2) x 3
Area = 25.5
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is approximately 25.5 square inches, which would be closest to option B: 30in^2.
