what is the area of the trapezoid below
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (base1 + base2) * height
In the given trapezoid, we have:
Base1 = 8 units
Base2 = 12 units
Height = 5 units
Area = (1/2) * (8 + 12) * 5
Area = (1/2) * 20 * 5
Area = 10 * 5
Area = 50 square units
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 50 square units.
