Question

find the area of this trapezoid. be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the lengths of the parallel sides and the height.

The two parallel sides \(a = 4\space m\) and \(b=14\space m\), and the height \(h = 4\space m\).

Step2: Use the trapezoid area formula \(A=\frac{(a + b)}{2}\times h\).

Substitute \(a = 4\), \(b = 14\), and \(h=4\) into the formula:
