Answer:

60 in^2

Explanation:

solution Given:

Area of the shaded region or trapezoid = Area of Rectangle ABCD - Area of triangle CDE

we have

Area of Rectangle ABCD= length* breadth =BC*AB=14*6=84 in^2

Area of Triangle CDE= 1/2* base*height=1/2*DE*CD=1/2*8*6=24 in ^2

Now

Area of the shaded region or trapezoid = Area of Rectangle ABCD - Area of triangle CDE

=84 in^2-24in^2

=60 in^2

Similarly, we have another way to calculate the area of the trapezoid;

Area = 1/2*h*(side1*side2)

=1/2*AB*(AE+BC)

=1/2*6*(6+14)

=60 in^2
