what is the area of the irregular figure below?

36
48
144
288

36

Step-by-step explanation:

This figure is a trapeoid.

Turning the figure sideways,

A = 1/2 (b1+b2) *h  where b1 and b2 are the top and bottom and h is the height

b1 and b2 are the  top and bottom so b1 =6 and b2=12  and h is the height so h = 4

A = 1/2 (6+12)*4

A = 1/2 (18)*4

   = 9*4

   = 36 in^2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the y coordinate of the vertex is -4, it has to be the rest of the equation subtracted by 4, which eliminates A and C.

Adding 5 puts it on the left side, so you have to subtract 5.

Then you add all the default info and the info we found out.

y = 2(x-5)^2-4

So technically by process of elimination, B must be the answer.
