Question

Find the area of the shape shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

32 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezoid = $\frac{b_{1} +b_{2} }{2} h$

A = $\frac{4+12}{2} 4$ = 32 units²

Answer 2

Answer:

The area of the trapezoid is 32 units squared

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the formula A = $\frac{a + B}{2} *h$ to find the area of a trapezoid.

In this case a = 4, B = 12, and h = 4.  Plug the numbers into the formula and you will get 32.
