To find the area of a trapezoid, we can use the formula: Area = 1/2 * (sum of the lengths of the two parallel sides) * height.
In trapezoid PQRS, the two parallel sides are PQ and RS. The length of PQ is 8 and the length of RS is 12. The height of the trapezoid, which is the perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides, is 5.
So, the area of trapezoid PQRS is:
Area = 1/2 * (8 + 12) * 5
Area = 1/2 * 20 * 5
Area = 10 * 5
Area = 50
Therefore, the area of trapezoid PQRS is 50 square units.
