Question

How do I find the area???

Answer 1

Answer:

option A. 36 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is a trapezium

Area of a trapezium=1/2 *(sum of parallel sides) *height

From the diagram, the parell sides are 6 inches and 12 inches ,and the height is 4 inches.

We substitute these values into the formula.

This implies that, the area

$= \frac{1}{2}(6 + 12) \times 4$

$= \frac{1}{2}(18) \times 4$

$=9\times 4$

$= 36$

Thus the area is 36 square inches
