Answer: 27.5 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by :-

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\text{height}\times(\text{sum of parallel sides})[/tex]

From the given picture, the measure of the parallel sides are 4  in. and 7 in.

and height (distance between parallel sides) = 5 in.

Then, the area of a trapezoid will be :-

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}(5)\times(4+7)\\\\\Rightarrow\ A=27.5[/tex]

Hence, the area of the picture = 27.5 square inches.
