Question

If the two parallel side of a trapezium are 12cm and 8 cm respectively and the diastance between them is 6cm then the area of trapezium will be ?

Answer 1

Answer :-

• $\Large{\sf{\red{60\:cm^{2}}}}$

Given :-

• Parallel side are 12 cm and 8 cm.
• Height of trapezium h = 6 cm ( distance between parallel side ).

To find :-

• Area of trapezium = ?

★ We know that Area of trapezium is :-

• 1/2 × ( Sum of parallel side) × height.

★ Putting values :-

→ 1/2 × ( Sum of parallel side ) × h

→ 1/2 × ( 12 + 8 ) × 6

→ 1/2 × 20 × 6

→ 10 × 6

→ ${\sf{\red{60\:cm^{2}}}}$

Area of trapezium is 60 cm².

Answer 2

✰✰|| Given ||✰✰

• measure of parallel side = 12cm, 8 cm

• measure of height = 6cm

✰✰|| To Find ||✰✰

• Area of trapezium

✪|| Solution ||✪

Area of trapezium = 1/2 × sum of parallel side × height

⇒ Area of trapezium = 1/2 × ( 12cm + 8cm ) × 6cm

⇒ Area of trapezium = 1/2 × 20cm × 6cm

⇒ Area of trapezium = 1/2 × 120cm²

⇒ Area of trapezium = 60cm²

Area of trapezium = 60cm²
