Another way to solve this is to use the Midpoint Formula. The midpoint of a segment joining points 
and 
is
So the midpoint of your segment is
Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points. Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.

<h3><u>Given Information :</u></h3>
- Length of parallel sides = 60 ft and 40 ft
- Height of the trapezoid = 30 ft
- Area of the trapezoid.
As we know that,
- a and b are length of parallel sides.
- h denotes height.
<em>S</em><em>u</em><em>b</em><em>s</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>t</em><em>u</em><em>t</em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em>g</em><em> </em><em>valu</em><em>es</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>get</em><em> </em>:
Area =
× ( 60 + 40 ) × 30 ft
Area =
× 100 × 30 ft
Area = 1 × 100 × 15 ft
Area = 100 × 15 ft
<u>Area = 1500 ft</u>
Therefore,
- Area of the trapezoid is <u>1500 ft
