Answer:
Area = 28 sq inches
Step-by-step explanation:
For the area of a trapezoid, you average the parallel sides (add them and divide by 2). Then times by the height.
Its like youre trying to smash it into being a rectangle.
Well, in the question they told you the parallel sides added together is 14. Then divide by 2, which gives you 7. Then times by height: 7×4
=28
Recap:
Area(trapezoid)
= [(base1 + base2)/2]×height
= [(14)/2] × 4
= 7 × 4
= 28
