I can’t see the figure from your description. Could you either attach the image or describe exactly how the five side lengths (8, 5, 6, 5, 9) are arranged (which are the parallel bases of each trapezoid, which are the legs, and how the two trapezoids are joined)?
To help you know what I’ll do once I have the figure: for each trapezoid identify its two bases b1, b2 and a leg length s (and whether it’s isosceles). If the legs are equal (isosceles trapezoid) the height is
h = sqrt(s^2 - ((b2 − b1)/2)^2).
Then area = (1/2)(b1 + b2)·h. Add the two trapezoid areas to get the total.
Send the picture or a clear labeling and I’ll compute the numeric area and pick the correct choice.
