Let us take a trapezium ABCD.
- The distance between the 2 parallel sides refers to the height of the trapezium
With respect to the above Diagram,
- DC = 13cm
- AB = 9cm
- Height = 8cm
Now that we have the measurements, by applying the formula, let us find the area of the trapezium.
Formula to use :-
Substituting the values,
Area :-
By cancellation,
Therefore the area of the trapezium is 88cm²
Some more formulas :-
- Area of a triangle = ½ × Base × Height
- Area of a square = Side × Side =≥ (side)²
- Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth
- Area of a parallelogram = Base × Height
- Area of a rhombus = ½ × Diagonal 1 × Diagonal 2
