Answer:
96 square feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of quadrilateral ABCD is given by:
Area=bh
Where b=8 units is the base of the quadrilateral and h=12 units is the height.
We substitute the values to obtain:
Area=8*12=96.
Or
The area of a trapezoid is
[tex]Area= \frac{1}{2} (sum \: of \: base) \times height[/tex]
[tex]Area= \frac{1}{2}(8 + 8) \times 12 = 96[/tex]
The area of the dog house is 96 square feet
