To answer this question we will use the following formula to compute the area of a trapezoid:

[tex]Area=\frac{(MajorBase+minorbase)\times height}{2}.[/tex]

From the given diagram we get that quadrilateral ABCD is a trapezoid, with major base BC, minor base DA, and a height of 6 units.

Also, from the given diagram we get that BC=8 units and AD=5 units, therefore:

[tex]Area=\frac{(8units+5units)\times6units}{2}.[/tex]

Simplifying the above result we get:

[tex]Area=\frac{78units^2}{2}=39units^2.[/tex]

Answer: 39 squared units.
