Answer:

1) A = 48 sq units 2) 42 sq units

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of a trapezoid of a trapezoid is A = 1/2(b1+b2)h.

So for number 1, it is stated that the height of each unit is 2. Now let's substitute the variables in the formula with the actual bases and heights. I got A = 1/2(8+4)8, A=6*8, A=48 sq units.

For number 2, each unit also has a height of 2. Let's substitute the variables in the formula again. And we get A = 1/2(10+4)6, A = 7*6, A = 42 sq units.

This is how you find the areas of the trapezoids!
