The area of the trapezoid in square centimeters is 25square centimeters
Area of a trapezoid
The formula for calculating the area of a trapezoid is expressed as:
A = 0.5(a+b)h
where
- a and b are the sides
- h is the height
Given
a = 3cm
b = 7cm
h = 5cm
Substitute
A = 0.5(3+7)*5
A = 0.5(10)*5
A = 25square cm
Hence the area of the trapezoid in square centimeters is 25square centimeters.
