Asap!

calculate the area of the trapezoid, which is not drawn to scale.

show work!

So, what you want to do is separate the figure into two pieces that are easier to work with. You can cut the figure into a triangle and a rectangle from the lower end of the 5 inch side to the 11 inch side
From there it is just two equations. The rectangle would be 4inx8in which is 32in^2. The  triangle would have a height of 4in and a length of 11in-8in which is equal to 3in which makes the equation 4x3 then divided by 2 which equals 6in^2.
You just add the two results to get the total area which is 38in^2
