The area of an L-shaped countertop is most easily calculated by dividing the region into rectangles, like this: 80 +---------------------------------+ | | | |24 | | | | |.........+-----------------------+ 60| | 56 | | | |36 | | | | | | +---------+ 24 The two rectangles are 24 by 80 inches and 24 by 36 inches. Thus the area is: 24 * 80 + 24 * 36 = 24 * (80 + 36) = 24 * 116 = 2784 sq. in. To get it in square feet, divide by 144: 2784 / 144 = 19.33 sq. ft. The linear measure of this countertop would be 60 + 80 = 140 inches = 140/12 feet = 11.67 feet
There isn't a conversion of linear feet into square feet. A linear foot is simply the length of the board (1 dimensional). A square foot takes into account the length and the width (2 dimensional). Here is an example of both measurements if you were measuring for a L-shaped countertop: You would break the 'L' into two rectangles (non-overlapping). The two rectangles are 24 by 80 inches and 24 by 36 inches. Thus the area is: 24 * 80 + 24 * 36 = 24 * (80 + 36) = 24 * 116 = 2784 sq. in. To get it in square feet, divide by 144: 2784 / 144 = 19.33 sq. ft. The linear measure of this countertop would be 60 + 80 = 140 inches = 140/12 feet = 11.67 feet

A trapezoid has two bases of different lengths. So there's a number missingfrom the question, and the area can't be calculated without it.
can it for a trapezoid?
There is no standard width of a kitchen countertop! After saying that 25" is the usual kitchen countertop width to fit a 24" kitchen base cabinet.
Usually 18" from the countertop for modern cabinets, or 54" off the finished floor. Vent hood cabinets over the stone are six to eight inches more.
The standard height of a kitchen counter according to most architectural and building codes is 36 inches. However, the ADA describes a maximum of 34 inches tall for wheelchair bound access.
almost always--- nobody places shelving under the kitchen cabinets because the space from countertop to cabinet bottom is usually only 18 - 24 inches which is really not much to play with without taking up much needed mobility and countertop space.
There are a few companies that make countertop dishwashers (Danby or Sunpentown for example) that are less than 21-inches deep, but built-in models are all deeper than 21-inches.
No point on a countertop can be more than 24 inches from a receptacle per NEC 210.52. They have to be GFCI outlets per NEC 210.8.
That would depend on the length. I assume the entire top is 36 to 42 inches wide? A 6 foot long section should carry itself but you can always add a shelf bracket underneath.

According to the Amlink material weight calculator, a slab of marble of this size would weigh 4200 pounds. If using this for a countertop, make sure that the support is strong enough to distribute the weight properly.
depinding on the size
8 sq inches.
It is 5 inches.
