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

A trapezoid, after its bottom is shortened by 5 cm, becomes a square, and the area is reduced by 20 square cm. What is the area of the original trapezoid?


20 × 2 / 5 = 8 (CM), (8 + 5 + 8) × 8 / 2, = 21 × 8 / 2, = 84 (square cm); answer: the original trapezoid area is 84 square cm
