To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (a + b) * h
Where:
a = length of the top base = 17.7 inches
b = length of the bottom base = 9.4 inches
h = height of the trapezoid = 8.6 inches
Plugging in the values:
Area = (1/2) * (17.7 + 9.4) * 8.6
Area = (1/2) * 27.1 * 8.6
Area = 0.5 * 232.06
Area = 116.03 square inches
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 116.03 square inches.
