The area of this trapezoid is 375
inches^(2)

The formula to find the area of a trapezoid is:
A= (a+b)/(2) h

A = Area
a & b = the base lengths
h = height length

Using this, with the given variables, we can plug our formula in and work it out.


A= (10+40)/(2)15.................................Simplify 10+40 to 50


A= (50)/(2)15.......................................Simplify
(50)/(2) to 25


A=25*15...................................Multiply
25*15


A = 375..........................................Final answer

Thank you for your question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day and feel free to let me know if I can help you further! :D
