1. **State the problem:** Find the area of a trapezoid with top base $19$ m, bottom base $30$ m, and height $6$ m.
2. **Formula for the area of a trapezoid:**
$$A = \frac{(b_1 + b_2)}{2} \times h$$
where $b_1$ and $b_2$ are the lengths of the two bases, and $h$ is the height.
3. **Identify values:**
- $b_1 = 19$ m (top base)
- $b_2 = 30$ m (bottom base)
- $h = 6$ m (height)
4. **Substitute values into the formula:**
$$A = \frac{(19 + 30)}{2} \times 6$$
5. **Simplify inside the parentheses:**
$$A = \frac{49}{2} \times 6$$
6. **Multiply:**
$$A = 24.5 \times 6$$
7. **Calculate the product:**
$$A = 147$$
8. **Final answer:**
The area of the trapezoid is $147$ square meters.
