Answer

b. 32 sq. unit

Step-by-step Explanation

The area of the trapezoid is given by

$A = \frac{1}{2} (b_{1} + b_{2}) \times h$

We substitute the given values into the formula to obtain;

$A = \frac{1}{2}(10 + 6) \times 4$

Simplify

$A = \frac{1}{2} (16) \times 4$

$A = 16 \times 2$
Hence the area is

$A = 36 \: sq \: units$

<h3>What is a right rectangular pyramid?</h3>

A right rectangular pyramid is a pyramid, with four slant sides, and a rectagular base, such that all the sides are congruent and the vertex is atop of the midpoint of the base rectangle.

<h3>How to find the volume and base's area of a right rectangular pyramid?</h3>

Suppose the base of the pyramid has length = l units, and width = w units.

Suppose that the height of the pyramid is of h units, then:

$v = \dfrac{l \times w \times h}{3} \: \rm unit^3$ is the volume of that pyramid.
