To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2)(b1 + b2)h
where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel bases of the trapezoid and h is the height of the trapezoid.
In this case, b1 = 6 inches, b2 = 10.5 inches, and h = 10.4 inches.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2)(6 + 10.5)(10.4)
Area = (1/2)(16.5)(10.4)
Area = (0.5)(171.6)
Area = 85.8 square inches
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 85.8 square inches.

THAT ISNT RIGHT
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct it.
To find the area of a trapezoid, we use the formula:
Area = (1/2)(b1 + b2)h
Given that b1 = 6 inches, b2 = 10.5 inches, and h = 10.4 inches, let's plug these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2)(6 + 10.5) * 10.4
Area = (1/2)(16.5) * 10.4
Area = 8.25 * 10.4
Area = 85.8 square inches
Therefore, the correct area of the trapezoid is actually 85.8 square inches.
