Answer:

28 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezoid:

[tex]A=\dfrac12(a+b)h[/tex]

(where [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] are the bases and [tex]h[/tex] is the height)

Given:

  • [tex]a=6[/tex]
  • [tex]b=8[/tex]
  • [tex]h=4[/tex]

[tex]\implies A=\dfrac12(6+8)4[/tex]

[tex]\implies A=28 \ \textsf{ft}^2[/tex]
