Answer:

A = 84
ft^(3)

Explanation:

To find the area of a trapezoid, use this equation:


A = (a+b)/(2)h

a = top base

b = bottom base

h = height

Let's classify all the sides:

a = 4 ft

b = 10 ft

h = 12 ft

Now, let's plug all these into the equation:


A = (4+10)/(2) (12)


A = (14)/(2)(12) Add what's in the numerator


A = 7(12) Divide 14 by 2

A = 84
ft^(3) Multiply 7 by 12

So, the area of the trapezoid is 84
ft^(3).

Hope this helps!!
