Answers
Answer:
find the area of a trapezium whose parallel sides are of length 33 cm and 12 cm and whose non parallel sides are of length 17 cm and 10 cm.
=> give area of trapezium:-
now;-
=> draw a perpendicular from the vertex A at CD name the point as X and draw another perpendicular at CD from the vertex B and name the point as Y
==> we got two triangle and one rectangle.
=> give:-
=> base of the triangle = difference of the trapezium.
=> base of ∆ = CD-AB
=> base of ∆= 33-12 = 21 cm
find the height of∆
by using Pythagoras theorem
AX²=AD²+DX²
AX²=17²+21²
AX²=730²
AX²=√730=21.01 cm
therefore, height= 27.01 cm.
now:-
=> find the area of trapezium
=> using formula
=½(a+b)×h
= ½(12+33)27.01
= ½(45)27.01
= area of trapezium= 607.91 cm²
