Question

1. Find the area of a trapezium shaped plot whose parallel sides are 25 m and 35 m and perpendicular distance
between them is 10 m.
​

Answer 1

Area of trapezium = $\frac{1}{2} * h (a+b)$    {h = Height, a and b are parallel sides}    

                             = $\frac{1}{2} *10 (25+35)$

                             = 5×60  {10/2 = 5, 25+35 = 60}

                             = 300 m²

Answer 2

Answer:

Parallel side = 25m,35m

Perpendicular distance = 10m= Height

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezium=

1/2(Sum of parallel side)× height

1/2 (25m+35m)×10m

1/2×60m×10m

30m×10m

300 square metre
