Answer:
The area of given trapezoid = 80 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula:
Area of trapezoid = h/2(a + b)
h - Height of trapezoid
a and b are the parallel bases of trapezoid.
<u>To find the area of trapezoid</u>
here a = 17, b = 3 and h = 8
Area = h/2(a + b)
= 8/2(17 + 3) = 4 * 20 = 80 square units
Therefore area of given trapezoid = 80 square units
