Find the área of a trapezoid with a height of 4ft, base of 5ft and short base of 2

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you would want to do is to draw it out. Once you've drawn it out, you want to add the "imaginary lines" so the trapezoid will form into a rectangle. Then find out the area which is L * W. The area for the rectangle is 20.

Finally you want to take those imaginary pieces and find the area of those. Which would be three and then you want multiply by two since there is two of them. The last thing you need to do is subtract the six from 20.

Therefore the answer is 12.
