To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (b_1 + b_2) \times h
\]
where \( b_1 \) is the length of the top base, \( b_2 \) is the length of the bottom base, and \( h \) is the height.
From your information:
- \( b_1 = 11 \, \text{in} \)
- \( b_2 = 14 \, \text{in} \)
- \( h = 8 \, \text{in} \)
Now, plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (11 + 14) \times 8
\]
\[
= \frac{1}{2} \times 25 \times 8
\]
\[
= \frac{1}{2} \times 200
\]
\[
= 100 \, \text{in}^2
\]
If the answer you mentioned is not 100, please double-check the values of the bases and height you provided, as based on the standard calculation, the area of the trapezoid is indeed \( 100 \, \text{in}^2 \). If "4" refers to something specific, please clarify its meaning.
