Find the area of the trapezoid.
answer options: 8sqrt2, 4sqrt3, 12.0, 16sqrt2

=  8sqrt2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezium is given by the formula;

1/2(a+b)h ;

Where a and b are the parallel sides and h is the perpendicular height.

a = 3 cm, b= 5 cm

To get; h, we use the Pythagoras theorem;

h² = 3² - 1²

   h² = 8

h = √8

  = √4√2

 = 2√2

Thus;

Area = 1/2(3 +5) 2√2

         = 1/2 ×8 × 2√2

         = 8√2 cm² or  8sqrt2 cm²
