Answer:
Area = 36 sq. units
Step-by-step explanation:
The 3 values you need to solve for the area are the top base length, bottom base length, and height.
Top base length = 7 . It's the distance between point A and B.
Bottom base length = 11. It's the distance between points C and D.
Height = 4. It's the perpendicular distance from the top to the bottom base.
The formula to solve the area of a trapezoid (or trapezium, I'm American) is:
A =
Put in the numbers above for the unknowns and you will get this:
A =
Simplify:
A=
A = 2(18)
A = 36
So the answer is 36. Hope I helped!

The length and width of the rectangle are 18 in and 1 in, respectively.
<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram. Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle, the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.
The area of a rectangle can be found for the formula : b*h, where b = base and h =height.
For this question, the length exceeds its width by 17 inches - L=W+17. Here, the length is the base and the width is the height. Thus, from the value of area given, you can find the values of the length and width of the rectangle.
A=b*h
18=(W+17)*W
18=W²+17W
W²+17W-18=0
Solving this quadratic equation, you have:
w1=1 and w2= -18
For dimensions, only positive numbers must be used. Then, the width is equal to 1 inch.
As, the area (l*w) is 18 in², see.
18=l*w
18=l*1
l=18 in
