Question

3) TWO PARALLEL SIDES OF A TRAPEZIUM ARE 10CM AND 24CM RESPECTIVELY. IF NON PARALLEL SIDES ARE EACH EQUAL TO 12 CM, FIND THE AREA OF TRAPEZIUM.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area of trapezium = 1/2*(sum of parallel sides)*height

Answer 2

Answer:

In triangle AED,

AD^2 = AE^2 + DE^2

=> (12)^2 = (7)^2 + (DE)^2

=> DE^2 = 144-49

=> DE =

$\sqrt{95}$

Area of the TRAPEZIUM,

1/2 × (sum of parallel sides) × height

= 1/2×(24+10)×/95

= 1/2×34×/95

$17 \sqrt[]{95} sq \: cm$
