blank 1:

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the trapezoid area formula

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is \(A=\frac{(b_1 + b_2)h}{2}\), where \(b_1\) and \(b_2\) are the lengths of the parallel sides, and \(h\) is the height.

Step2: Identify the values of \(b_1\), \(b_2\), and \(h\)

From the figure, \(b_1 = 12\) in, \(b_2=16\) in, and \(h = 10\) in.

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula
