Answer:

126.5 cm2

Explanation:

First, the equation to find the area of a trapezoid is A= 1/2(b1 + b2)h , where b1 is the first length and b2 is the second length and h is the height. For these measurements, you would simply factor them into the equation- A= 1/2(8 + 15)11. Then using pemdas, 8+15= 23... multiplied by 1/2 equalling 11.5. Then multiply 11.5 by 11 to get your answer of 126.5 then add the units.
