Question

How do I find the area???

Answer 1

option A. 36 square inches

Explanation:

The figure is a trapezium

Area of a trapezium=1/2 *(sum of parallel sides) *height

From the diagram, the parell sides are 6 inches and 12 inches ,and the height is 4 inches.

We substitute these values into the formula.

This implies that, the area

`= (1)/(2)(6 + 12) * 4`

`= (1)/(2)(18) * 4`

`=9* 4`

`= 36`

Thus the area is 36 square inches
