Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

Don't be fooled by that top base. The lines (b2 and b1) are parallel. Not only that the height and the left side of the trapezoid form a rectangle.

That being so the top base B1 is 13 feet

Givens

B1 = 13 feet

B2 = 13 + 5 = 18 feet

h = 14 feet

Formula

Area = (B1 + B2)*h/2

Area = (13 + 18)*14/2

Area = 31 * 7

area = 217 square feet.
