In this problem I am tasked with writing a program to find the area of a trapezoid. Can anyone tell me what this error means and how to fix it? I guess it’s something to do with the formatting of the area formula but I can’t figure out how to fix it. Thanks guys def problem1_7(): b1 = input("Enter the value of base 1: ") b2 = input("Enter the value of base 2: ") h = input("Enter the height: ") area = int((1/2)(b1 b2)h) print("The area of a trapezoid with bases",b1,b2,"and",h,"is",area )

problem1_7()

Enter the value of base 1: 3

Enter the value of base 2: 4

Enter the height: 8 Traceback (most recent call last):
