Volume = (area of trapezoidal base)(height)
= ...
13*15=195
No
Your diagram shows the trapezoid to have two parallel sides of 13 and 8 with a height of 5 between them.

You should know how to find the area of a trapezoid, check your text or your notes
so I repeat:
Volume = (area of trapezoidal base)(15)
A=((8+13)/2)*15
=157.5
You forgot to multiply by the height of the trapezoid.
area of trap = ((8+13)/2)(5)

volume = ((8+13)/2)*(5) * (15)
157.5 is wrong
