The area of the given trapezoid is 38 in².

What is a trapezoid?

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles) with a single pair of parallel sides. The area (A) of a trapezoid is given by:

A = (1/2) * (a + b) * h

Where a, b are the parallel sides and h is the height of the trapezoid.

Given that a = 8, b = 11, h = 4, hence:

A = (1/2) * (8 + 11) * 4 = 38 in²

The area of the given trapezoid is 38 in².
