Answer: a = 24 units²

Explanation:

Let us graph the figure given. This shape appears to be a trapezoid. Now, we can solve for the area. This shape also has a height of 4, which I forgot to show in the picture.

In the formula, h is the height, a is a base, and b is the other base.


\displaystyle a=(a+b)/(2) h


\displaystyle a=(4+8)/(2) 4


\displaystyle a=(12)/(2) 4


\displaystyle a=(6)4


\displaystyle a=24\; \text{units}^(2)
