Answer 1

Answer: B. 12 units²

Explanation:

Answer: B. 12 units²

Explanation: The area of a trapezoid is calculated by taking the sum of the two bases and multiplying it by the height, and then dividing by two. In this case, the two bases are 8 units and 4 units and the height is 4 units. Therefore, the area of the trapezoid shaped purse is (8 + 4) x 4 divided by 2, which equals 12 units².
