Answer: B.
337.5\text{ ft.}^2

Explanation:

The area of trapezoid is given by :-


\text{Area}=(1)/(2)h(a+b), where a and b are the parallel sides and h is the height.

From the given picture, we have

Height (h) = 15 ft

a = 20 ft.

b = 25 ft.

Then , the area of trapezoid is given by :-


\text{Area}=(1)/(2)(15)(20+25)\\\\\Rightarrow\text{Area}=337.5\text{ ft.}^2

Hence, the area of trapezoid is
337.5\text{ ft.}^2
