Question

If the lengths of the parallel sides of a trapezium are 8 cm, 9 cm and the distance between the parallel
sides is 6 cm. then its area is
​

Answer 1

Answer:

As we know that area of a trapezium is

$\frac{1}{2} (sum \: of \: length \: of \: parallel \: sides)(height \: of \: trapezium )$

therefore

$\frac{1}{2} \times (8 + 9) \times 6$

$\frac{1}{2} \times 17 \times 6$

$17 \times 3$

therefore the answer is 51cm square
