Answer 1

Answer:

Not on there but it is 76in2

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with the trapezoid. We know that a trapezoid can be split into 2 triangles and 1 rectangle. So the area of the trapezoid will be 4+32+4 which is 40 now that we know the trapezoid's area we can find the rectangle's area. The rectangle's area will be 12x3 which is 36. So, you would add both:40+36= 76in2.
