The area outlined in the image is a trapezoid, with the top base of 20 ft, bottom base of 30 ft, and a height of 8 ft.
To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2)h(b1 + b2), where h is the height, and b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel sides (bases) of the trapezoid.
Plugging in the values:
Area = (1/2)(8 ft)(20 ft + 30 ft)
Area = 4 ft * 50 ft
Area = 200 square feet
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid outlined in the image is 200 square feet.
