17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, the bisecting line will also bisect the side

+

) * h * 1/2 so you can use the area of a parallelogram, which is A = l * w, by splitting the trapezoid into 2 triangles and one rectangle. So you'd use A = l * w for the rectangle and A = 1/2bh for the triangles. You'd get the same answer!
I believe it would be 264
