Answer:

340 in²

The units get squared when calculating for area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trapezoid is any figure containing two parallel sides and two other non-parallel sides.

We know by the formula of area of trapezoid

  • Ar(trap.) = 1/2(a1+a2)h

Where

  • a1 and a2 = || sides
  • h = distance between || lines

Given

  • a1 = 16 in
  • a2 = 52 in
  • h = 10 in

Solution:

Put in the values and then solve in keeping with PEMDAS:

  • Ar(trap.) = 1/2(16+52)(10)

= 1/2(68)(10)

= 34*10 = 340 in²

The units get squared when we calculate for area.
