To determine the area of the trapezoid we need to use the following expression:


A=(B+b)/(2)\cdot h

Applying the dimmensions given in the problem we can calculate the area as shown below:


A=(5+4)/(2)\cdot4=(9)/(2)\cdot4=(36)/(2)=18\text{ square inches}

The area of the trapezoid is 18 square inches.
