To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:

A = (b1 + b2) x h / 2

where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel bases, and h is the height (or altitude) of the trapezoid.

In this case, we have:

b1 = 18 M
b2 = 24 M
h = 15 M

So we can substitute these values into the formula:

A = (18 + 24) x 15 / 2
A = 42 x 15 / 2
A = 315 M^2

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 315 square meters.
