The formula of trapezoid area is A = (a + b) * h / 2 where a and b is the either sides of the trapezoid and h is the height. To get the area of Duc's trapezoid shaped section of his yard, substitute the values of the given data using the formula A = (a + b) * h / 2.
> A = (a + b) * h / 2
> A = (8 + 14) * 4 / 2
> A = 22 * 4/2
> A = 88/2
> A = 44 or 44ft²
Duc's trapezoid shaped section of his yard has an area of 44ft².
