Answer:

300 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Trapezoid = 1/2 (b1 + b2 ) × h

h = height 20 inches

b1 = First base = ?

b2 = Second base = ?

From the Question

b1 + b2 = 30 Inches

Hence,

Area of the Trapezoid = 1/2 (30) × 20

= 1/2 × 30 inches × 20 inches

= 300 square inches

The Area of the Trapezoid = 300 Square inches
