Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Trapezoid

Given a trapezoid of parallel bases b1 and b2, and height h, the area is calculated with the formula:

The trapezoid in the figure has b1=15 and b2=27. We need to find the height. If we focus on triangle BCD, we can calculate the height as the distance EC by using the Pythagora's Theorem:

The side BC can be found as half the difference of the bases:

Solving for EC:

Now we have the height, calculate the area:

A = 168

The area of the trapezium is 168
