Answer:

$A = 68.75 \text{ square inches}$

Explanation:

First, we need to identify the trapezoid's dimensions:

base 1 = 16

base 2 = 11.5

height = 5

Then, we can plug these values into the trapezoid area formula:

$A = (b_1+b_2)/(2) \cdot h$

$A = (16 + 11.5)/(2) \cdot 5$

$A = (27.5)/(2) \cdot 5$

A = (137.5)/(2)

$\boxed{A = 68.75 \text{ square inches}}$
