Given a trapezoid with different dimensions, we are asked to find the Area.

To solve this we will have to use the area of a trapezoid formula:

Area = 1/2 (a + b)h

Where:

a = 29.2 in

b = 19 in

h = 12.6 in

A = ?

Inputting into the formula:

Area = 1/2 (29.2 + 19) * 12.6

Area = 1/2 (48.2) * 12.6

Area = 1/2 (607.32)

Area = 303.66 in²

Therefore, the Area of the Trapezoid is 303.66 in²

Therefore, the correct option is third option which is 303.66 in².
