Question

A garden is in the form of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 40 m and 22m and the perpendicular distance between them is 12m. Find the area of the garden

Answer 1

Answer:

372 sq. metres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezium= (sum of parallel sides)/2 x height

                              = (40+22)/2 x 12

                              = 31 x 12 = 372 sq. metres

Answer 2

Area of Garden

1/2 × (40+22) × 12m

1/2×62m×12m

372m²
