Question

Find the area of the following trapezium(Fig 11.8).

6 cm
10 cm
5 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) Area of trapezium

=\frac{1}{2}\ (Sum\: of\: Parallel\: sides)\times (Distance\: between \:parallel \:sides)

=\frac{1}{2}\times 16\times 3

=27cm^{2}

(ii)

Area of trapezium

=\frac{1}{2}\ (Sum\: of\: Parallel\: sides)\times (Distance\: between \:parallel \:sides)

=\frac{1}{2}\times (10+5)\times 6

=45 cm^{2}

Answer 2

GIVEN :-

Parallel Sides = 10cm and 5cm.

h = 6cm

TO FIND :-

Area of Trapezium

SOLUTION :-

Area of Trapezium:-

½ × Sum of Parallel Sides × Distance Between Them

= ½ × ( b1 + b2 ) × h

= ½ × 10 + 5 × 6

= ½ × 40

= 20

So,

Area of Trapezium = 20Cm.
