Question

find the area of trapezium whose parallel sides are 42 cm and 38 cm and distance between them is 15cm.​

Answer 1

Answer:

area of trapezium=1/2× sum of parallel side×distance between them

=1/2×(42+38)×15

=1/2×80×15=600cm²

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' and 'b' be the parallel sides of the trapezium, i.e,

a = 42 cm

b= 38 cm

Let 'h' be the height, i.e, perpendicular distance between the parallel sides = 15 cm

Area of the given trapezium = 1/2 h (a + b)

= 1/2 × 15 × ( 42 +38 )

= 1 /2 × 15 × 80

= 600 cm ^2
