A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with two parallel sides of different lengths. This means that any of the two sides can be called a base, and that the trapezoid is unique because it has two bases.
the formula for finding the area of a trapezoid is
[(b1 + b2) x h] / 2
Substituting the values:
((19 + 29.2) * (12.6)) / 2
303.66 in ^ 2
Answer:
the area of the trapezoid is:
303.66 in ^ 2
