Question

22 cm
30 cm
The adjacent figure shows the diagram of a picture frame having outer dimensions
the same, find the area of each section of the frame,
30 cm x 34 cm and inner dimensions 22 cm x 26 cm. If the width of each section is the same, find the area of each section of the frame.

Answer 1

Answer:

Perimeter of trapezium = 104 m

Length of Non-parallel sides = 18 m and 22 m

Altitude = 16m

Area of Trapezium = 0.5 * (sum of parallel sides)*altitude ------ (1)

Sum of parallel sides = Perimeter - (sum of non-parallel sides) = 104 m - (18+22)m = 104-40 m = 64 m

From (1), Area of Trapezium = 0.5*64*16 = 512 m^2

Ans: Area of trapezium = 512 m^2
