Find the area of the trapezoid, I will give brainlist. If you can please explain how you got the answer

Answer:
36 sq inches
Step-by-step explanation:
bases are the two parallel sides -- 8" and 4"
height is perpendicular to the base -- 6"
formula for area of a trapezoid: A = 1/2h·(sum of bases)
A = 1/2(6)(8 + 4)
A = 3(12)
A = 36 sq inches
