Hi there! :)
[tex]\large\boxed{A = 12.5 \text{ units}^{2}}[/tex]
Find the area of the shape using the formula for the area of a trapezoid:
A = 1/2(b1 + b2) · h
Where:
b1 = base 1
b2 = base 2
h = height
A = area
Plug in the given bases and height:
A = 1/2(7.5 + 2.5) · 2.5
Simplify:
A = 1/2(10) · 2.5
A = 5 · 2.5
A = 12.5 units²
