Question

1. Find the area of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 9 cm and 15 cm and the distance between them is 8 cm.


​

Answer 1

Answer:

Formula to find the area of a trapezium is 1/2(a+b)height

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,

A= 9cm

B= 15cm and

Height (distance between them) = 8cm

Therefore,

Area of this trapezium = {1/2 × (9+15) × 8} cm^2

= 1/2 × 24 ×8

= 1/2 × 192

= 96 cm² answer.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

96 cm

this is because area of trapezium is 1÷2× sum of parallel sides × height
