I think the answer would be 38in^2
Because the equation is : (a+b) *h / 2
A and b are both the bases of the trapezium
So (11 + 8) these are the bases and the height is 4 so you would do
(11+8)*4 / 2
(19)*4 / 2
76 / 2
= 38
Answer:
1. Distance from Katie's House to the beach = 75 km
2. Hours that it takes to get to the beach = 6 hrs
3. -12.5 which tells us the rate at which katie traveled which was 12.5 km per hour
Steps to 3.
Rise/Run = -75/6 = -12.5 = slope

translate each statement into mathematical language
length is nine inches less than twice width. L = 2W - 9
perimeter is 84 inches 2L +2W = 84
Substitute the expression for L (2W-9) for L in the second equation resulting in the follwing
2(2W-9) + 2W = 84
4W - 18 + 2W = 84
(4W+2W) = 84+18
6W = 102
W = 102/6 = 51/3
L = 2(51/3) - 9
= L= 17-9
L=6
