Answer:

The area of trapezoid is 32 inches^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel base 1 = a = 3 inches

Parallel base 2 = b = 5 inches

Height of trapezoid = 8 inches

We need to find area of trapezoid

The formula used is: [tex]Area\:of\:trapezoid=\frac{a+b}{2}\times h[/tex]

Now putting the values and finding area of trapezoid

[tex]Area\:of\:trapezoid=\frac{a+b}{2}\times h\\Area\:of\:trapezoid=\frac{5+3}{2}\times 8\\Area\:of\:trapezoid=\frac{8}{2}\times 8\\Area\:of\:trapezoid=4\times 8\\Area\:of\:trapezoid=32[/tex]

So, the area of trapezoid is 32 inches^2
