Question

In a trapezium, the parallel sides measure 40 cm and 20 cm. Calculate the area of the trapezium if its non-parallel sides are equal having the lengths of 26 cm.

Please give answer rn ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area=780cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

Base(1) of the Trapezium=40cm

Base(2) of the Trapezium=20cm

Height of the Trapezium=26cm

Hence Area=a+b /2xh

                    =40+20/2x0.26

           Area =780cm²

Answer 2

Answer:

EXPLAINATION:

let the tapezium be trap abcd

draw a perpendicular from a and b and name them as p and q

then it forms a right angled triangle

then triangle aoc forms

then 26^2=10^2 + x^2

x=

\sqrt{?}

?

676-100

=

\sqrt{?}

?

576=24.

area of trapezium =1/2 (ab+cd)h

=1/2 (20+40)24

=1/2 (60)24

=30×24

=720cm^2
