Question

What is the area of the trapezoid?

Answer 1

Answer:

Second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the formula for calculate the area of a trapezoid. This is:

$A_{(trapezoid)}=\frac{h}{2}(B+b)$

Where "B" is the larger base, "b" is the minor base and "h" is the height.

You can identify in the figure that:

$B=8units\\b=4units\\h=4units$

Then you can substitute values into the formula, getting that the area of the trapezoid is:

$A_{(trapezoid)}=\frac{4units}{2}(8units+4units)$

 $A_{(trapezoid)}=24units^2$
