    264 in²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Parameters given:

    Base, b = 24 inches

    Height, h = 12 inches

    Top side length, a = 20 inches

    We are told that the front face of the basket is in the shape of a trapezoid.

    The area of a trapezoid is:

    A = ½ * (a + b) * h

    The area of the front face of the basket is:

    A = ½ * (20 + 24) * 12

    A = ½ * 44 * 12

    A = 264 in²

    The area of the front face of the basket is 264 in².
