Answer 1

The answer is 80.
hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:
`80\text{ units}^2`

Explanation:

We know that the area of a trapezoid is given by :-

`\text{Area of trapezoid}=(1)/(2)(a+b)h`, where a and b are the opposite sides and h is the height of the trapezoid.

Now, the area of the trapezoid is given by:-

`\text{Area of trapezoid}=(1)/(2)(10+10)8\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area of trapezoid}=80\text{ units}^2`

Hence, the area of the trapezoid =
`80\text{ units}^2`
