Answer:
72 inches square unit
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of the trapezoid we can use the formula;
[tex]A = \frac{a + b}{2}(h)[/tex]
Where:
- A is the area of the trapezoid
- a is the parallel side = 13 in
- b is also the parallel side = 3 in
- h is the height of the trapezoid = 9 in
Solution
A = (13 in + 3 in) / 2 * 9 in
A = (16 in)/2 * 9 in
A = 8 in * 9 in
A = 72 in^2 [tex]({72 \text{ in}}^{2} )[/tex]
