The usual form for the area of a trapezoid is (average of the parallel sides) x height.

If only the lengths of the sides are given, then calculation of the area requires trigonometry and multiple solutions are possible.

Often, teachers will give a problem like this showing the two unequal parallel sides and two unequal, non-parallel sides with a diagram showing that one of the sides is perpendicular to the parallel sides. That side length would be the height.
