Answer 2

Answer:

A = 192 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezoid is calculated as

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases

Here h = 12, b₁ = AB = 14 and b₂ = DC = 2 + 14 + 2 = 18, then

A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 12 × (14 + 18) = 6 × 32 = 192 in²
