Question

if the perimeter of a trapezium be 52 cm, its non parllel sides are equal to 10cm each and its alttitude is 8 cm,find the area of the trapezium

Answer 1

Hi friend
---------------
Your answer
--------------------

Given that : -

Perimeter of a trapezium = 52 cm

Measure of its equal non parallel sides = 10 cm

Altitude of the trapezium = 8 cm

Now,
---------

Sun of the parallel sides of the trapezium = Perimeter - sum of non parallel sides

= [ 52 - (10 + 10)] cm

= [ 52 - 20] cm

= 32 cm

Then,
-----------

Area of trapezium = 1/2 × sum of parallel sides × Altitude

= (1/2 × 32 × 8) cm²

= 128 cm²
