Answer:
Formula for the area of a trapezoid;
A = 1/2 (b1 + b2) x h
Where b1 represents base one, and b2 is base two. And H displays as the height.
First, we must figure out our bases and then our height.
If we look at the trapezoid, we can see the bottom base(which will be our base 1) is 4. Our upper base is 2, which we will consider our base 2.
Our height is 4, because the distance between our bases is 4.
So now we plug these values into our formula;
A = 1/2 (b1 + b2) x h
A = 1/2 (4 + 2) x 4
Now solve:-
A = 1/2(6) x 4
A = 6/2 x 4
A = 3 x 4
A = 12
