Question

If length of the parallel sides of the trapezium are 8 1/2cm,6cm and height is 5 cm,find the area of trapezium in mixed fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of trapezium=1/2×(sum of parallel sides)×hieght

hieght=5cm

length of parallel sides=8.5cm,6cm

So,

Area={1/2×(8.5+6)×5}cm²

={1/2×14.5×5}cm²

=72.5/2cm²

=(725/10×2)cm²

=(725/102)cm²

=7¹¹/₁₀₂cm²
