Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
The area formula for a trapezoid is as follows:
A = [tex]\frac{a + b}{2}h[/tex]
Where:
A = Area
a = top side length
b = bottom side length
h = height
Plug in the values given to you into the equation and solve.
A = [tex]\frac{7 +12}{2}(5)[/tex]
A = [tex]\frac{19}{2}(5)[/tex]
A = [tex]\frac{95}{2}[/tex]
A = 47.5 [tex]in.^2[/tex] is the answer.
