Explanation

Find the area of rectangle ABCD:

Area = l × w
or Area = 8 × 3 → Area = 24

Find the area of trapezoid EFGH:

Area = $$\frac{(b1+b2)}{2} \times (h)$$
or Area = $$\frac{(5+7)}{2} \times 4$$= $$6 \times 4$$=

Compare the quantities:

Quantity A: 24
Quantity B: 24

Hence option C is correct.
