Find the area.

![Trapezoid](https://example.com/trapezoid.png)

- 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: 
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times (b₁ + b₂) \times h \]

\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times (4\, \text{m} + 7\, \text{m}) \times 5\, \text{m} \]
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 11\, \text{m} \times 5\, \text{m} \]
\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 55\, \text{m}^2 \]
\[ A = 27.5\, \text{m}^2 \]
