A trapezoid, if the upper bottom increases by 2 cm and the lower bottom decreases by 2 cm, becomes a square with a side length of 5 cm. The area of this trapezoid is______ Square centimeter

A trapezoid, if the upper bottom increases by 2 cm and the lower bottom decreases by 2 cm, becomes a square with a side length of 5 cm. The area of this trapezoid is______ Square centimeter

Trapezoid's upper bottom: 5-2 = 3cm, trapezoid's lower bottom: 5 + 2 = 7cm, trapezoid's area: (3 + 7) × 5 / 2, = 10 × 5 / 2, = 25 (square centimeter); answer: This trapezoid's area is 25square centimeter. So the answer is: 25
