what is the volume of trapezoidal boat fully filled with water

You need to understand one thing first. Two dimensional figures don't have volumes. They only have areas. A trapezoid is a two-dimensional figure. So it has no volume. The formula for area of a trapezoid is:
1/2*(Sum of the lengths of the bases)*Height

A trapezoid is only two-dimensional... it's an area, not a volume.
The area of a trapezoid is commonly written as
A = (b1 + b2)h / 2,
where b1 and b2 are the bases and h is the height.
An easier formula is
A = mh,
where m is the median and h is the height. The median is the average of the two bases.

A trapezoid is two-dimensional. You might have been referring to area instead of volume.

Trapazoid is the name of a plane figure. You'll have to better define the shape that you're interested in.
