Answer:

54 or 57 (read explanation below)

Explanation:

There is a mistake in the problem.

The bottom base has length 10 not 11.

Using the correct length of 10, the area is:

A = (1/2)h(b1 + b2)

A = (1/2)(6)(10 + 8)

A = 3(18)

A = 58

Using the incorrect length of 11, the area is:

A = (1/2)h(b1 + b2)

A = (1/2)(6)(11 + 8)

A = 3(19)

A = 57
