Copy the trapezoid below on grid paper.

1. Find the length of the bottom base (segment $CD$), the length of the top base (segment $AB$), and the distance between the two bases. Use grid units.

   Hint (a):

   Check that the length of $AB$ is $8$ units. Then find the length of $CD$ and the height.

2. Use what you learned about cutting up figures to find the area of the trapezoid.

   Help (b):

   One way to do this is to break up the trapezoid like this. Find the area of each part and then find the total area.
