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

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

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

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.

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