For a right angle trapezoid, the ratio of the upper bottom to the lower bottom is 3:5. If you increase the upper bottom by 7 cm and the lower bottom by 14 cm, you can turn it into a square and find the area of the trapezoid

It's 3x at the top and 5x at the bottom
3x + 7 = 5x + 1 = high
2x=6
x=3
Area = (3x + 5x) * (5x + 1) / 2 = 8 * 3 * 16 / 2 = 192 square centimeters
