Explanation:

hello,

the shape is a right trapezium.

you use the following formula:

area of a trapezium = ½ × sum of parallel sides× height.

or simply,

a = ½ ( a + b ) h

where a and b are the parallel sides

and h is the height.

thus,

a = ½ × ( 4 + 6 )× 4

a = ½ ( 10 ) × 4

a = 5 × 4

a = 20

have a great day! au revoir !
