Answer:
Yes, it is TRUE.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take a Trapezium with its parallel sides a and b, and distance between them as h. Let's make a copy of it and place each other vertically flipped as shown in the attached figure.
What we get is a parallelogram with parallel sides (a + b) and distance between the is h.
Area of the parallelogram = (a + b)xh
Therefore, Twice the area of the Trapezium = (a + b)xh
Therefore, (a + b) = Twice the area of the Trapezium/h
