The area of the trapezoid is 20 in².
Solution:
Given data:
Length of the bottom base = 7 in
Length of the top base = 3 in
Height of the trapezoid = 4 in
Step 1: Area of the trapezoid formula,

Step 2: Substitute the given values in the formula.

Step 3: Add 7 and 3.

Step 4: Divide 10 by 2, we get

Step 5: Multiply 5 by 4, we get
A = 20 in²
The area given in the picture is wrong.
The area of the trapezoid is 20 in².
The answer would be the second option B) because we can cross out A) and D) since those are multiplication, and it's not C) because that's commutative property, not associative.
It is between 3.1 and 3.17 or 3.2 if you want it by hundredths.
This is because 3.16 is 3.1600000 and many more zeros but 3.16227766 is slightly over that so it would be between 3.1 and 3.17.
