Find the area.
- The trapezoid has the following dimensions:
- Top base (b₁) = 4 meters
- Bottom base (b₂) = 7 meters
- Height (h) = 5 meters
The formula to find the area of a trapezoid is:
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (b₁ + b₂) \times h \]
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times (4\, \text{m} + 7\, \text{m}) \times 5\, \text{m} \]
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 11\, \text{m} \times 5\, \text{m} \]
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 55\, \text{m}^2 \]
\[ A = 27.5\, \text{m}^2 \]
