Answer: 46x square meters

==================================================

Work Shown:

Area = height*(base1+base2)/2

Area = 5x*(6.4+12)/2

Area = 5x*(18.4)/2

Area = 5x*9.2

Area = 46x

Because we don't know what x is, we cannot evaluate 46x further. So we leave it as is.

The area units are in square meters. We can abbreviate that as m^2 or
m^2

Think of a 1 meter by 1 meter square.
