Answer:
A = 35 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h (b₁ + b₂)
where h is the perpendicular height between the bases and b₁, b₂ are the bases.
Here h = 5 , b₁ = 9 and b₂ = 5 , then
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 5 × (9 + 5) = 2.5 × 14 = 35 cm²
