Question

3. Find the area of a trapezoid with these
measurements. Its bases are 16 m and 12
m while its height is 5 m.​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Area of trapezium = 70 m²

Given

• Base 1 = 16m
• Base 2 = 12m
• Height = 5m

Here , Base 1 and Base 2 are parallel lines of trapezium

Formula used

$☞{\small{\boxed{\tt{\orange{Area\ of \ trapezium = \frac{1}{2} ×h( a + b )}}}}}$

Here,

• h denotes to height
• a and b denotes to parallel lines of trapezium

Step-by-step explanation:

${\small{\sf{Area\ of\ trapezium = \frac{1}{2}×5m(16m+12m)}}}$

${\small{\implies{\sf{Area\ of \ trapezium = \frac{1}{\cancel{{2}}}×5m × {\cancel{28m}}}}}}$

${\small{\implies{\sf{Area\ of \ trapezium =( 5×14 ) m²}}}}$

${\implies{\small{\boxed{\frak{Area \ of\ trapezium = 70m²}}}}}$
