The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:
A = (a + b) * h / 2
where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides (top and bottom) and h is the height.
In this case, a = 12.5 cm, b = 17.5 cm, and h = 6 cm. Plugging those values into the formula, we get:
A = (12.5 + 17.5) * 6 / 2
A = 30 * 3
A = 90 square centimeters
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 90 square centimeters.
Find the area of the trapezoid 12.5cm across top 6cm height 17.5cm across bottom
