Question

5. A field is in the shape of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 25m
and 10m. the non-parallel sides are 14m and 13 m. find the area of
the field.​

Answer 1

Answer:

hey here is ur answer...

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a trapezium = 1/2 × sum of parallel sides × height

now , we do not know the height of the trapezium...so first we need to find it ....

now , let the trapezium be ABCD where AB|| CD

and AB = 10 cm and CD = 25 cm .. (given)

so , AD = 14cm and BC = 13 cm ( given)

Construction : Draw AM perpendicular CD

and BN perpendicular CD

so , MN = 10 cm ( as now ABNM is a rectangle by cons )
