Question

find the area of trapezium if its parallel side 1 is 5 cm , parallel side 2 is 11 cm and its height is 4 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :

• Magnitude of one parallel side = 5 cm
• Magnitude of another parallel side = 11 cm
• Height or distance between the parallel sides = 4 cm

To Find : Area of the trapezium

Solution :

Formula to find the area of the trapezium :

→ (1/2) × Sum of magnitudes of parallel sides × Height

• Putting known values.

→ (1/2) × (5 + 11) × 4

→ (1/2) × 16 × 4

→ 16 × 2

→ 32

Hence, the area of trapezium is 32 cm².
