For this case, we have that by definition, the area of the trapezoid, shown in the figure, is given by:

$A = \frac {1} {2} (b_ {1} + b_ {2}) * h$

In this case:

$b_ {1} = 17 \ cm\\b_ {2} = 9 \ cm\\h = 8 \ cm$

Substituting we have:

$A = \frac {1} {2} (17 + 9) * 8\\A = \frac {1} {2}( 26 * 8)\\A = 104 \ cm ^ 2$

Answer:

$A = 104 \ cm ^ 2$
