Answer:

22 units

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is A =
(a+b)/(2) h where a and b are the bases and h is the height of the trapezoid.

In this case, the numbers that will be replacing a and b will be 4 and 7, making the equation look like this: A =
(4+7)/(2)h .

Now, you have to determine the height of the trapezoid, which in this case is 4 units. The equation will now look like this: A =
(4+7)/(2)4.

You can solve from here like so:

A =
(11)/(2)4

A = 5.5(4)

A = 22

sorry that took long :3))

I got the measurements like 4, 7, and the other 4 from rotating the shape to have the longer side on the bottom.
