Answer: 126 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Trapezoid is a quadrilateral , shape with straight sides that has a pair of opposite sides parallel.
I already attached the image of trpazoid.
Now find the area of trapazoid.
We have a formula to find the area of trapezoid.
Area of trapezoid =

where a & b are the parallel side ( here "a" represent the upper side and "b" represent the base)
h is the height of the trapezoid (always remember heigth is the perpendicular distance)
now a = 12 inches (AB)
b = 2 + 12 + 2 (CD = CE + EF + FD) = 16 inches
h = 9 (BE)
Now put all these values in the given formula
Area of trapezoid =

=

= 14*9
Are of trapezoid = 126 sq in (3rd option is correct)
