Question

Find the area of a Trapezium whose base 10 cm and 12 cm and altitude 5cm

Answer 1

Answer:

55 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

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

area=a

length of parallel sides=10 cm, 12 cm as the base and top are parallel

height or altitude=5 cm

a=1/2(10+12)×5

a=1/2(22)×5

a=11×5

a=55 cm²

hence the area of trapezium is 55 cm²

Answer 2

Answer:

This is your correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

1step Area of the trapezium = 1/2×sum of parallel side × Altitude

= 1/2×(10+12)×5

= 1/2×22×5

= 1×11×5

=11×5

=55

So the area of the trapezium = 55cm^2
