Answer: 54 square inches and 18 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is the sum of the top and bottom bases divided by 2, multiplied by the height.

In the first picture the bases are 6 and 12, and the height is 6, so the formula would look like this:


(6+12)/(2) *6

=
(18)/(2) *6

=
9*6

=54

54
in.^(2) is the answer to the first problem.

Following the same method, we can do the next problem the same way:


(4+8)/(2) *3

=
(12)/(2) *3

=
6*3

=18

18
in.^(2) is the answer to the second problem.
