Find the area of the figure below.
Top: 5 meters
Bottom: 5 meters
Other half: 3 meters
Top: 5 meters
Bottom: 5 meters
To find the area of this figure, we can split it into two trapezoids.
Area of trapezoid = 1/2 * (top + bottom) * height
Area of first trapezoid = 1/2 * (5 + 5) * 3 = 15 square meters
Area of second trapezoid = 1/2 * (5 + 5) * 5 = 25 square meters
Total area = 15 + 25 = 40 square meters
Therefore, the area of the figure is 40 square meters.
