what is the area in square centimeters of the trapzoid below ?

Let's start by writing out our formula.
A = 1/2(b1 + b2) x h
As we can see, base 1 is 8.6cm, and base 2 is 12.9cm. We can also see that the height is 6.4cm, so all we need to do know is plug in what we know.
A = 1/2(8.6 + 12.9) x 6.4
A = 68.8cm²
Hope this helps!
The formula for area of a trapezoid is:
(b1 + b2) • h • 1/2
So let’s plug in the numbers:
(8.6+12.9) • 6.4 • 1/2
21.5 • 6.4 • 1/2
137.6 • 1/2 = 68.8
The answer is 68.8 square centimeters.
Hope this helps!
