Answer:
[tex]\boxed{50cm^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello There!
The shown figure is a trapezoid
The formula for area of a trapezoid is
[tex]A=\frac{a+b}{2} h[/tex]
where a = base 1
b = base 2
h = height
the dimensions given are
13 & 7 - bases
5 - height
so all we have to do is plug in the values into the formula
[tex]A=\frac{7+13}{2} 5\\7+13=20\\\frac{20}{2} = 10\\10*5=50\\A=50[/tex]
So we can conclude that the area of the trapezoid is 50 cm²
