Question

18. Find area of Trapezium
if its parallel sides are 2m
& 2.4m and perpendicular
distance between them is
1.6m.​

Answer 1

Answer:2.1 m²

Explanation:

Parallel sides are 1.5 m and 2 m.

Distance between them is 1.2 m.

Here,

a = 1.5 m,

b = 2 m,

h = 1.2 m.

Area of Trapezium = 1 / 2 * ( a + b ) * h

                               = 1 / 2*( 1.5 + 2 )*1.2

                                = 4.2 / 2

                               = 2.1 m²

Hence, the area of trapezium is 2.1 m²
