The area of the trapezoid is 28 inches square
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is expressed as;
A = a + b/2 h
Such that the parameters are given as;
- A is the area of the trapezoid
- a and b are the side lengths
- h is the height
Substitute the values, we get that;
Area = 6 + 8/2 ×4
add the values
Area = 14/2 ×4
divide the values
Area = 7×4
Area = 28 inches square
