Question

Find the area of the shape shown below.

Answer 1

The area of the trapezoid is 32 units squared

Explanation:

You can use the formula A =
`(a + B)/(2) *h` to find the area of a trapezoid.

In this case a = 4, B = 12, and h = 4. Plug the numbers into the formula and you will get 32.

Answer 2

32 units²

Explanation:

Area of trapezoid =
`(b_(1) +b_(2) )/(2) h`

A =
`(4+12)/(2) 4` = 32 units²
