Direv area of trapezium.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of a Trapezium

A trapezium, also known as a trapezoid, is a quadrilateral in which a pair of sides are parallel, but the other pair of opposite sides are non-parallel. The area of a trapezium is computed with the following formula:

\text{Area}=\frac {1}{2} × \text {Sum of parallel sides} × \text{Distance between them}.

Area=

×Sum of parallel sides×Distance between them.

The parallel sides are called the bases of the trapezium. Let b_1b

and b_2b

be the lengths of these bases. The distance between the bases is called the height of the trapezium. Let hh be this height. Then this formula becomes:

\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h

Area=
