Answer 1

The formula for the are of a trapezoid is as follows:

`A=((b_1+b_2)h)/(2)`

where the b₁ and b₂ are the lengths of the bases and the h is the height of the trapezoid.

Substitute the given values into the equation.

`A=((5+12)(4))/(2)`

Simplify the expression inside the parentheses. Add.

`A=(17(4))/(2)`

Divide 4 by 2.

`A=17(2)`

Multiply 17 by 2.

`A=34`

Therefore, the area is 34 cm squared.
