The area of a trapezoid is given as


A=(1)/(2)(a+b)h

From the given trapezoid


a=13ft,b=31ft,h=16ft

Substitute the values of a, b, and h into the equation

This gives


A=(1)/(2)(13+31)*16

Calculate the value of A


\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)(44)*16 \\ A=44*8 \\ A=352 \end{gathered}

Therefore the area of the trapezoid is


352ft^2
