Answer:

50

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is a+b/2h. a is the top of the trapezoid (5). b is the bottom of the trapezoid(15). h is the height of the trapezoid(5). First you add 5 and 15 together to get 20. Then you divide by 2 to get 10. Now you do 10 x 5 to get 50 as your answer. 5+15/2 = 10(5) = 50
