Answer:
b.)36
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for area of a trapezoid = [tex]\frac{a+b}{2} h[/tex]
where a and b = bases and h = height
The sign has the following dimensions
Base 1 = 6ft
base 2 = 12ft
height = 4ft
Using these dimensions we plug in the values into the formula
[tex]A=\frac{6+12}{2} 4\\6+12=18\\\frac{18}{2} =9\\9*4=36[/tex]
Hence the area of Mr. Wash's sign is 36 square feet.
