Answer:
26 square meters (the first option)
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a trapezoid is (b1+b2)/2*h.
b1=one of the bases (one of the bases that are parallel to each other)
b2= the other base (that is parallel to base 1)
h=height
In this picture, b1=5, b2=8, h=4
So, the area is
(5+8)/2*4
=13/2*4
=6.5*4
= 26 square meters
