Question

If the parallel sides of a trapezium are 7 cm and 9 cm , and the distance between the two parallel sides is 16.5 cm, find the area of trapezium.

Answer 1

Answer:

here's your answer!!

Sum of the parallel sides = 9 cm and 7 cm.  

Distance between them = 6 cm  

•°• Area of the trapezium  

= 1/2 (Sum of parallel sides) × h  

= {1/2 (9 + 7) × 6} cm²  

= (1/2 × 16 × 6) cm²  

= (1 × 8 × 6) cm²  

= 48 cm²
