Question

Find the area of the trapezium whose parallel sides are 16 dm and 22 dm and whose height is 12 dm

Answer 1

area of trapizium=1/2(a+b)x h
=1/2 x(16+22)x12
=1/2x 38x12
=19x12
=228dmsq unit

Answer 2

Area of trapezium is given by-

= 1/2× (sum of parallel lines) × height

so putting the values we have

= 1/2 ×(16+22) × 12

= 1/2 × 38 × 12

= 228 ans
