Answer

In triangle RTQ,

RQ2 = RT2 + QT2

(17)2 = RT2 + (8)2

RT2 = 289 - 64

RT2 = 225

RT = 225\sqrt{225} = 15 cm.

We know that,

Area of the trapezium = 12\dfrac{1}{2} × sum of parallel sides × height

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} × (8 + 16) × 15

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} × (24) × 15

= 15 × 12

= 180 cm2.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
