a childs toy harp is in the shape of a trapezoid as shown.
in square inches, what is the area of the harp?

Question

Accepted Answer

# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall the trapezoid area formula
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is $A=\frac{(b_1 + b_2)}{2}\times h$, 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 problem, $b_1 = 4$ in, $b_2=12$ in, and $h = 8$ in.
## Step3: Substitute the values into the formula
$$
\begin{align*}
A&=\frac{(4 + 12)}{2}\times8\
&=\frac{16}{2}\times8\
&=8\times8\
&=64
\end{align*}
$$

# Answer:
$64$
