Answer:
[tex]Area = 18[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
[tex]a = 2\\ h = 4\\ b=7[/tex]
See attachment for trapezium
Required
The area
From the attachment, the formula is:
[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} * (a + b) * h[/tex]
[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} * (2 + 7) * 4[/tex]
[tex]Area = \frac{1}{2} * 9 * 4[/tex]
[tex]Area = 18[/tex]
