Calculate the area of a trapezoid using base lengths and height.
The area of a trapezoid is calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \frac{(a + b)}{2} \times h \]
Where \( a \) and \( b \) are the lengths of the two bases, and \( h \) is the height.
Example: If \( a = 5 \) units, \( b = 3 \) units, and \( h = 4 \) units, then \( \text{Area} = \frac{(5 + 3)}{2} \times 4 = \frac{8}{2} \times 4 = 16 \) square units.
