The figure shown in the image is a trapezoid. To find the area of this trapezoid, we can use the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (b_1 + b_2) \times h
\]

Where:
- \( b_1 \) and \( b_2 \) are the lengths of the two parallel sides (bases),
- \( h \) is the height of the trapezoid.

### From the image:
- One base, \( b_1 = 20 \, \text{cm} \),
- The other base, \( b_2 = 7 \, \text{cm} \) (since the two vertical sides are marked with 7 cm),
- The height, \( h = 16 \, \text{cm} \).

Now, let’s calculate the area.

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (20 \, \text{cm} + 7 \, \text{cm}) \times 16 \, \text{cm}
\]

I will now calculate the exact area.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

However, you can solve it manually using this formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (20 + 7) \times 16 = \frac{1}{2} \times 27 \times 16 = 216 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

**Tip:** In geometry, it's useful to break down complex shapes into simpler ones like triangles, rectangles, or trapezoids when calculating areas.

Find the area of the shape below. The shape is a trapezoid with a height of 16 cm, one base of 20 cm, and the other base of 7 cm.

This guide explains how to calculate the area of a trapezoid with a height of 16 cm, a base of 20 cm, and another base of 7 cm. Using the trapezoid area formula, we provide a step-by-step solution suitable for students in Grades 6-8.
