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.
