Answer:

14 in^2 (answer D)

Explanation:

Because all of the possible answers have units in^2, we know that the goal of this problem is to find the area of the given figure.

The figure has two horizontal boundary lines, of lengths 5 in and 9 in. Thus, the average horizontal length of the figure is (5 + 9)/2 inches, or 7 inches.

The width of this figure, measured vertically, is 2 in.

Thus, the total area of the figure is (2 in)(7 in) = 14 in^2 (answer D).

Answer:

14 in²; D.

Explanation:

Hey!

To find the area of a trapezoid, we will add up both of the bases, divide by two, and then multiply the height.

In that case, we'll start by adding up 5 and 9.

5 + 9 = 14


(14)/(2) = 7.

7 × 2 (height) = 14.

Thus, the area of the given trapezoid is
\boxed{14\:in^2}, or D.

Hope this helps!
