Question

If the sum of the parallel sides of a trapezium is 12 cm, and
the distance between the parallel sides is 5 cm, find out the area of the trapezium

Answer 1

Answer:

30 sq.cm

Step-by-step explanation:

area of trapezium = 1/2 × sum of parallel sides × height

= 1/2 × 12 × 5

= 30 sq.cm

Answer 2

Given :

Sum of the parallel sides and height are 12cm and 5cm respectively

To Find :

Area of Trapezium.

Solution :

As Given that Sum of the parallel sides and height are 12cm and 5cm respectively So ,

Using Formula :

$\tt\boxed{Area\:of\:Trapezium=\dfrac{1}{2}\times{(Sum\:of\:parallel\:sides)}\times{h}}$

Putting Values :

$\longmapsto\tt{A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times{(12)}\times{5}}$

$\longmapsto\tt{A=\cancel\dfrac{60}{2}}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{A=30}$

Therefore :

$\longmapsto\tt{Area\:of\:trapezium}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bf{30\:cm^2}$

So ,

Area of Trapezium is 30 cm² .
