Answer: 32ft²

Explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by the formula: A = [(b1+b2)/2] x h, where b1 and b2 are the two bases, and h is the height.

In our situation, b1 = 3, and b2 = 5. The height is given as 2.

Plugging these numbers into our formula:

A = (b1+b2)/2 x h

A = [(3+5)/2] x 2

A = (8/2) x 2

A = 4 x 2

A = 8ft²

8ft² is the area of one trapezoid. If Mr. Smith wants to fit 4 of these shapes into the room, the combined area will be 4 x 8 = 32ft².

Have a nice day :)
