Answer:
C. 126 inches²
Explanation:
To find the area of a trapezoid multiply the sum of the two bases (12 + 16) and the height divide by 2 (9 / 2) by each other
(12 + 16)9/2
Add 12 and 16 to get 28.
28(9/2)
Multiply 28 by 9 to get 252.
252/2
Divide 252 by 2 to get 126.
The area of the trapezoid is 126 inches².
