A garden plot is shaped like a trapezoid with parallel sides measuring 10 feet and 16 feet, and a height of 8 feet. What is the area of the garden plot?

A 52 sq ft
B 64 sq ft
C 104 sq ft
D 208 sq ft

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

The area of a trapezoid is calculated using the formula A = 0.5 × (base1 + base2) × height. So, A = 0.5 × (10 + 16) × 8 = 0.5 × 26 × 8 = 104 sq ft.
