Answer:

45.5 sq. feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezoid is given by 1/2(sum of parallel sides) * height of trapezoid.

In the problem

Parallel sides are bottom and top sides with length of 8.5 feet and 5.5 feet

Thus sum of Parallel sides = 8.5 feet + 5.5 feet = 14 feet

Height = 6.5 feet.

Thus,

area of trapezoid = 1/2*(14)* 6.5 feet = 7*6.5 feet = 45.5 sq. feet
