Question

What is the area of the given trapezoid ABCD?

A. 28 in2
B. 56 in2
C. 112 in2
D. 110 in2

Answer 1

STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:

To begin with, let's established the formula for the area of a trapezoid / trapezium as displayed below:

A of trapezoid = [ h ( a + b ) ] / 2

Now, let's substitue the values from the equation into the formula and then solve accordingly as displayed below:

h = 4
a = 6
b = 22

A = [ h ( a + b ) ] / 2
A = [ 4 ( 6 + 22 ) ] / 2
A = [ 4 ( 28 ) ] / 2
A = 112 / 2
A = 56 in2

Therefore, the answer is:

Option B. 56 in2
