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
