Question

What is the area of this trapezoid?

Answer 1

Find the area of the square first
Area = Length x Width
Area = 12 x 9
Area = 108

Find the area of the right triangles
Area = 1/2(Length x Base)
Area = 1/2(9 x 2)
Area = 1/2(18)
Area = 9
Since there is 2 triangles multiply by 2
9 x 2 = 18

Now add
108 + 18 = 126
126 is your area

Answer 2

2+12+2=16
16+12=28  28/2=14
14 x 9=126 in²
