The sum of angles in any quadrilateral, including trapezoid, is 360⁰.
Because we have <span>an isosceles trapezoid, we have 2 angles with measure 135⁰,
and we have 2 equal acute angles with measure x⁰.
So, we can find value of acute angle,
135*2 +2x =360⁰
270+2x=360
2x=360-270
2x=90
x=45⁰
So, acute angles in trapezoid = 45⁰.
From triangle ABC,
angle ACB =90⁰
angle A=45⁰,
so angle ABC= 180-(90-45)=45⁰
Triangle ABC is isosceles triangle,so |AC| = |CB|= 5 in.
So, longer base AA' = 5+4+5= 14 in
Now, we can find area of trapezoid.
shorter base = 4 in
longer base = 14 in
altitude =h = 5 in
Area of trapezoid =(1/2)(base1+base2)*h
Area of trapezoid = (1/2)(4+14)*5= 9*5=45 in²
Answer is 45 in².</span>
