To calculate the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (b_1 + b_2) \times h
\]
Where:
- \( b_1 \) and \( b_2 \) are the lengths of the two bases,
- \( h \) is the height (the perpendicular distance between the bases).
From the information provided, we have:
- One base \( b_1 = 14 \) in
- We need to determine the other base. Since the question mentions "side 10 in" and "inside 8 in", it's unclear what the second base is.
Assuming "inside" refers to the height, let's take the height as \( h = 8 \) in. However, we need another base to apply the formula correctly.
If we assume that the trapezoid has one base (14 in) and we have another base that is given or implied (let's assume the other base is also \( 10 \) in as the side since no other base length is provided), we would proceed as follows:
With \( b_1 = 14 \), \( b_2 = 10 \), and \( h = 8 \):
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (14 + 10) \times 8
\]
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 24 \times 8
\]
\[
\text{Area} = 12 \times 8 = 96 \, \text{in}^2
\]
Since none of the given options match 96 in², it's likely that I have made an incorrect assumption.
If you can clarify the second base or the dimensions that should be used, I can assist further. Otherwise, based on the problem as you've outlined, it appears the options provided do not directly correlate with calculated area. Please check for completeness in the dimensions provided for the trapezoid.
