Answer:

5 + 17) ÷ 2 = 11 So you add 5+17 which is 22, you then divide it by 2 which is 11. 11x4= 44 so 44 units squared. Hope this helped!

Answer:

44 units squared.

Explanation:

The formula for area of a trapezoid is:

$a = \frac{ b^(1) + {b}^(2) }{2} h$

a = missing area

b1 = short base (5)

b2 = long base (17)

h = height (4)

(5 + 17) ÷ 2 = 11

11 × 4 = 44

area = 44
