Answer: 28 cm.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the area of trapezoids, you need to add base 1 and base 2, multiply the height, and divide it all by 2. The work is done below:

b1 + b2 x h / 2, where b1 and b2 are the bases and h is the height.

5 + 9 x 4 / 2 = ?

Step 1 (Add): 5 + 9 = 14.

Step 2 (Multiply): 14 x 4 = 56.

Step 3 (Divide): 56 / 2 = 28.

Therefore, 28 cm is your answer.

Hope this helps! :)
