I have a rectangle on its long side down split in half from the top right to bottom left. another line from the bottom right to an unknown point on the top creating three triangles and a trapezoid. The area of the top right triangle is 2cm^2 and 3cm^2 for the bottom right triangle. I need help finding a formula to find the area of the trapezoid.

Thanks
