Let"s find the area of the rectangular trapezoid step by step.

First, let"s draw a diagram to visualize the trapezoid.

[diagram]

Now, let"s label the given values on the diagram. The longer base is labeled as \(a = 15\) cm, and the longer diagonal is labeled as \(d = 17\) cm. We need to find the area of the trapezoid, and one of the bases (smaller base) is not given. Let"s label the smaller base as \(b\) cm.

Next, we can use the formula for the area of a trapezoid:

\[A = \frac{{(a + b) \cdot h}}{2}\]

where \(A\) represents the area, \(a\) and \(b\) are the lengths of the bases, and \(h\) is the height of the trapezoid.

To calculate the height, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The height, in this case, is the perpendicular distance between the longer base and the shorter base.

Let"s label the height as \(h\) cm. It forms a right-angled triangle with the longer diagonal (\(d\)), the height (\(h\)), and half of the difference between the longer and shorter bases (\(\frac{{a - b}}{2}\)).

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

\[(\frac{{a - b}}{2})^2 + h^2 = d^2\]

Substituting the given values, we have:

\[(\frac{{15 - b}}{2})^2 + h^2 = 17^2\]

Simplifying, we get:

\[\frac{{(15 - b)^2}}{4} + h^2 = 289\]

To find the value of \(b\), we need to solve this equation. Let"s simplify it further.

Expanding the squared term, we have:

\[\frac{{225 - 30b + b^2}}{4} + h^2 = 289\]
\[\frac{{225 - 30b + b^2}}{4} = 289 - h^2\]

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 4, we have:

\[225 - 30b + b^2 = 1156 - 4h^2\]

Rearranging the equation, we have:

\[b^2 - 30b + (225 - 1156 + 4h^2) = 0\]
\[b^2 - 30b - 931 + 4h^2 = 0\]

This is a quadratic equation in terms of \(b\). To find its roots, we can use the quadratic formula:

\[b = \frac{{-(-30) \pm \sqrt{(-30)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot (-931 + 4h^2)}}}{2 \cdot 1}\]

Simplifying further, we have:

\[b = \frac{{30 \pm \sqrt{900 + 3724 - 4h^2}}}{2}\]
\[b = \frac{{30 \pm \sqrt{4624 - 4h^2}}}{2}\]
\[b = 15 \pm \sqrt{2312 - h^2}\]

Since we are dealing with a geometric shape, we can disregard the negative solution, as lengths cannot be negative. Therefore, we have:

\[b = 15 + \sqrt{2312 - h^2}\]

Now, we have the value of \(b\) in terms of \(h\). We can substitute this into the formula for the area of the trapezoid:

\[A = \frac{{(a + b) \cdot h}}{2}\]
\[A = \frac{{(15 + 15 + \sqrt{2312 - h^2}) \cdot h}}{2}\]
\[A = \frac{{30h + h\sqrt{2312 - h^2}}}{2}\]
\[A = 15h + \frac{{h\sqrt{2312 - h^2}}}{2}\]

By substituting the value of \(h\) from the Pythagorean theorem equation, we can simplify the expression even further.

However, without the value of \(h\), we cannot find the exact value of the area of the trapezoid. If you have the value of \(h\) or any additional information, please provide it, and I can help you solve the problem completely.
