Answer:

104m²

Explanation:

we can find the area of a trapezoid from its bases and height in the following formula:


A=(a + b)/(2)h

where...

A: area

a: one base

b: other base

h: height

here, we can see that our two bases are 9 and 17, and that our height is 8.

Now, let's plug these values into our formula:

a: 9

b: 17

h: 8


A=(a + b)/(2)h


A=(9 + 17)/(2)8

Now, we can simplify:


A=(9 + 17)/(2)8


A=(26)/(2)8

A = 13 · 8

A = 104

so, the area of this trapezoid is 104m²

(note: we write area as squared / in square units)

hope this helps! have a lovely day :)
