Answer 2

A. 70 in^2

EXPLANATION

The area of a tra-pezoid is

`= (1)/(2) (sum \: of \: parallel \: sides) * height`

Substitute the side lengths into the formula to obtain,

`= (1)/(2) (8 + 14) * 7`

Simplify the parenthesis

`= (1)/(2) (20) * 7`

Cancel out the common factors,

=10×7

Simplify

`= 70 {in}^(2)`

The correct answer is A
