Read each question carefully and calculate the area of the trapezoids. Show your work where applicable. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2 * (b1 + b2) * h, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel bases and h is the height.

1. Find the area of the trapezoid with bases 8 cm and 12 cm, and a height of 5 cm.

b1 = 8 cmb2 = 12 cmh = 5 cm

2. If a trapezoid has an area of 45 square meters, a height of 6 meters, and one base of 7 meters, the other base is   meters.

3. The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2 * (b1 + b2) *  .
