To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = ((a + b) / 2) * h
Where a and b are the lengths of the two parallel sides, and h is the height.
In this case, a = 14 inches, b = 32 inches, and h = 13 inches.
Plugging in the values:
Area = ((14 + 32) / 2) * 13
Area = (46 / 2) * 13
Area = 23 * 13
Area = 299 square inches
So the answer is 299 in.2
