Question

find the area of trapezium if the lengths of its parallel sides are 7 cm and 2 cm and distance between them is 14 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

$63 {cm}^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Length of the parallel sides of a trapezium = 7cm, 2cm

Distance or height between them of the trapezium = 14 cm

Therefore,

Area of the trapezium

$= \frac{1}{2} \times (sum \: of \: parallel \: sides) \times h$

$= \frac{1}{2} \times (7cm \: + 2cm) \times 14cm$

$= 9 \: cm \: \times \: 7cm$

$= 63 {cm}^{2}$

Hence, required area of the trapezium is,

$63 {cm}^{2} (ans)$
