Answer 1

i say 28 also from my math

Answer 2

28

Explanation:

Think of the shape being made up of a square on top that is 4 units by 4 units and a trapezoid on the bottom with bases 4 and 2 and height 4.

area = area of rectangle + area of trapezoid

area = LW + (b1 + b2)h/2

area = 4 * 4 + (4 + 2)(4)/2

area = 16 + 12

area = 28
