The formula to calculate the area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2 * (b1 + b2) * h, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel sides and h is the height.
In this case, b1 = 38 ft, b2 = 19 ft, and h = 8.5 ft.
Plugging the values into the formula:
A = 1/2 * (38 + 19) * 8.5
A = 1/2 * 57 * 8.5
A = 28.5 * 8.5
A = 242.25 square feet
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 242.25 square feet.
In this case, b1 = 38 ft, b2 = 19 ft, and h = 8.5 ft.
Plugging the values into the formula:
A = 1/2 * (38 + 19) * 8.5
A = 1/2 * 57 * 8.5
A = 28.5 * 8.5
A = 242.25 square feet
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 242.25 square feet.
