a. 114 in2

Answer 3

To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula A=1/2(b1 + b2)(h), where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel sides (the top and bottom widths of the trapezoid) and h is the height of the trapezoid.

In this case, b1 = 7, b2 = 12, and h = 6.

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
A = 1/2(7 + 12)(6)
A = 1/2(19)(6)
A = 1/2(114)
A = 57

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 57 square inches.
