To find the area, you can divide the trapezoid in multiple parts! cut the trapezoid into two, a rectangle and triangle!
Rectangle: 3x2=6
Triangle: 3x3x1/2=4.5
Add the two areas together: 6+4.5=10.4!
The area: 10.4 units squared
Would appreciate if you give brainliest!

Answer:

Formula for area of trapezoid;

A = 1/2 (b1 + b2) x h

Where b1 is base one, and b2 is base two. And h represents our height.

If we look at this trapezoid, we can see that the bottom base is 5 units long(which we will consider our base one). And the upper base is 2 units long which we will consider our base two.

Our height is 3 units long, because the distance between our bases is exactly 3.

Plug these values into our formula:

A = 1/2 (b1 + b2) x h

A = 1/2 (5 + 2) x 3

Now we solve,

A = 1/2(5 + 2) x 3

A = 1/2(7) x 3

A = 3.5 x 3

A = 10.5
