what is the area of the given trapezoid abcd?

Question

Accepted Answer

# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a trapezoid
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 trapezoid $ABCD$, $a = 6$ in, $b=22$ in, and $h = 4$ in.
## Step3: Substitute the values into the formula
$$
\begin{align*}
A&=\frac{(6 + 22)\times4}{2}\
&=\frac{28\times4}{2}\
&=\frac{112}{2}\
& = 56
\end{align*}
$$

# Answer:
The area of trapezoid $ABCD$ is $56$ square inches.
