The lengths of the base of a trapezoid is 12ft and 5ft the height is 96 in what is the area of the trapezoid

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is

A = (1/2) (b₁ + b₂) h

Substitute the given information and evaluate. (Make sure all dimensions have the same units.)

A = (1/2) (12 ft + 5 ft) (8 ft)

A = 68 ft²

The area of the trapezoid is 68 square feet.
