Question

Find the area of a trapezium if its parallel side is equal to 10 cm and 5cm

with its height 8 cm.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given parallel sides of trapezium are 10cm,5cm

Height of trapezium = 8 cm

Area of trapezium with parallel sides a,b and height h = (a+b/2)*h

Area of trapezium = (10+5/2)*6 = (15/2) * 8 = 60 sq.cm

Answer 2

Given :-

• Length of parallel side = 10cm and 5cm
• Height = 8cm

To Find :-

• Area of trapezium

Solution :-

Length of parallel side = 10cm and 5cm

Height = 8cm

${\boxed{\tt{Area\:of\:trapezium\:=\: \frac{1}{2}(Sum\:of\: parallel\:sides)h}}}$

Substituting the value,

$\mapsto{\tt{Area\:of\:trapezium\:=\: \frac{1}{2}(10+5)8}}$

$\mapsto{\tt{Area\:of\:trapezium\:=\: \frac{1}{2}×15×8}}$

$\mapsto{\tt{Area\:of\:trapezium\:=\:15×4}}$

$\large{\mathbb{\fcolorbox{purple}{black}{AREA\:OF\: TRAPEZIUM\:=\:60cm²}}}$
