Respuesta :

Answer

b. 32 sq. unit

Step-by-step Explanation

The area of the trapezoid is given by

[tex]A = \frac{1}{2} (b_{1} + b_{2}) \times h[/tex]

We substitute the given values into the formula to obtain;

[tex]A = \frac{1}{2}(10 + 6) \times 4[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]A = \frac{1}{2} (16) \times 4[/tex]

[tex]A = 16 \times 2[/tex]
Hence the area is

[tex]A = 36 \: sq \: units[/tex]
