1. find the area: 8 in 6 in 4 in

Question

Accepted Answer

# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall the trapezoid area formula
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is $A=\frac{(a + b)h}{2}$, where $a$ and $b$ are the lengths of the parallel sides, and $h$ is the height.
## Step2: Identify the values of $a$, $b$, and $h$
From the figure, $a = 8$ in, $b=4$ in, and $h = 6$ in.
## Step3: Substitute the values into the formula
$$
\begin{align*}
A&=\frac{(8 + 4)\times6}{2}\
&=\frac{12\times6}{2}\
&=\frac{72}{2}\
& = 36
\end{align*}
$$

# Answer:
$36$ square inches
