Answer:

x must be 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the area formula for a trapezoid is

A = (average of base lengths)(width)

Here we have

                                                                   17 cm + x

      (average of base lengths) = 11 cm = ----------------

                                                                           2

So 2(11 cm) = 17 cm + x, or

      22 cm = 17 cm + x

Then x must be 5.
