Answer:
The area is 14 inches squared.
Explanation:
To find the area of a trapezoid the equation is...
a+b
------ x h (a and b equal the bases)
2
Seeing as we know all of the basses and heights lets plug it into the equation.
9+5
------- x 2
2
Well the 2 and the 2 cancel each other out in this scenario so what we would have to do now is ad 9 and 5 which would get us to 14.
