Question

find the area of trapezium with base 15 cm and height 8 cm if the side parallel to the given base is 9 cm long​

Answer 1

Answer:

so area of trapezium will be 1/2*(a+b) h so answer will be 1/2 * 32 *8 = 1*4*32= 128

Answer 2

Answer:

96cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Lower Base= 15cm

Upper Base= 9cm

Height = 8cm

Area of a trapezium = 1/2 x (sum of opposite sides) x (sum of parallel sides or height)

∴ area = [1/2 x (15+9) x 8]cm^2

     (cutting 2 and eight to get 4)

             [(15+9) x 4]cm^2

       (adding 15 and 9)

             [24 x 4]cm^2

           = 96cm^2
