Have you considered the formula for the area of a trapezoid? Find an altitude and you'll be done in a moment.
OpenStudy (pinklion23):
hey you sill need help?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah
OpenStudy (pinklion23):
by the way all you need to do is A=0.5*h(b1+b2)

so 0.5*8(8+14)=a
OpenStudy (pinklion23):
you get it?

@Sworewolf The correct answer is B. 88 in^2, becasue the area formula for a trapezoid is: \[A = \frac{ a + b }{ 2 } * h\] Base = 8 in. & 14 in. and height = 8 in.
