Answer 1

Answer:

40 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

height=5cm

a=10cm

b=6cm

area of trapezium=1/2×h(a+b)

=1/2×5(10+6)

=40sq. cm

Answer 2

Answer:

GIVEN,

Lenth of parallel sides =10 cm , 6 cm.

Height = 5 cm

Now we know that ,

Area of a trapezium = 1/2× (Sum of parallel sides)× Height

= 1/2 × (10 +6) cm ×5 cm

= 1/2 × 16 cm × 5 cm

= 1/2 × 80 cm × cm

= 1 × 40 cm × cm

= 40 sq.cm

Therefore , the area of the given trapezium is 40 sq.cm( ans)
