 $\begin{array}{r} b_{1} = & 4 \\ b_{2} = & 1 \\ h = & 5 \end{array}$

The area of a trapezoid is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$ times the height times the sum of the bases $b_{1} + b_{2}$ .

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot (h e i g h t) \cdot (b_{1} + b_{2})$

Substitute the values of the height $h = 5$ and bases ( $b_{1} = 4$ and $b_{2} = 1$ ) into the formula for the area of a trapezoid.

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot 5 \cdot (4 + 1)$

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $5$ .

$\frac{5}{2} \cdot (4 + 1)$

Add $4$ and $1$ .

$\frac{5}{2} \cdot 5$

Multiply $\frac{5}{2} \cdot 5$ .
