I hope this helps d:

Answer 2

Area of trapezoid is
`16ft^2`.

Therefore, option 2nd is correct.

Explanation:

We have been given both the sides a=3 and b=5.

And height that is h=4

We will use the formula find the area of trapezoid is:

`(a+b)/(2)\cdot h`

Substitute the formula we get:

`(3+5)/(2)\cdot 4`

`\Rightarrow (8)/(2)\cdot 4`

`\Rightarrow 16`.

Area of trapezoid is
`16ft^2`.

Therefore, option 2nd is correct.
