The vertical left edge of a trapezoid is 8 inches and meets the bottom edge of the trapezoid at a right angle. The bottom edge is 4 inches and meets the vertical right edge at a right angle. The right edge is 11 inches. The top slanted edge measures 5 in
Calculate the area of the trapezoid, which is not drawn to scale.
Wat I think:
A=1/2h (5+4)
A=1/2 * 11 * 8 (5 + 4)
A=44*9
A=396in

the bottom edge is the "height" of 4, since it has two right angles.
So, the area is (8+11)/2 * 4 = 38 in^2
Lay the picture on its side, with the 11" base on the bottom, to get the more usual orientation.
