Answer: 36 square inches

Step-by-step explanation: The trapezoid is divided into three triangles.

The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2(b*h). Replace the variables with the values in the drawing.

1/2(4*6)

= 1/2(24)

=12

There are 3 triangles, so multiply the area of 1 triangle (which is 12) by 3.

12*3

=36

Label the final answer.

36 square inches

The answer is a 36
This is because if you take the area of one of the three triangles that make up the trapezoid you do 1/2 base times height and get 12 and you add all three together thus getting 36 square inches
