What is the area in square inches of the trapezoid below. ​

50 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the area in square inches of the trapezoid below.

Area of a trapezoid = 1/2(b1 + b2) h

Where

b1 = First base = 8in

b2 = Second base = 12in

h = Height = 5in

Area of trapezoid = 1/2(8 + 12) × 5

= 1/2 × 20 × 5

= 50 in²

The area of the trapezoid is 50 square inches

answer: h=5.6 i don't really know how to put into words, so i though i would let you do that. i hope i was able to some

step-by-step explanation:

18 = 6(h)+1/2

18 = 6h+1/2

18-1 = 6h/2

17 = 3h

17/3 = h

h = 5.6
