Calculate the area of the trapezoid, which is not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

Area of the Trapezoid is
`38 inch ^2`

Explanation:

Area of a Trapezoid= {(Sum of parallel sides)/2}*Perpendicular distance between parallel sides

Parallel sides are: 11 inch and 8 inch

The perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides=4 inch

Putting the values in the formula:

Area of the trapezoid:

=
`(11+8)/(2) *4`

`=(19)/(2)* 4\\\\=9.5*4\\\\=38.0inch^2`

Area of the Trapezoid is
`38 inch ^2`
