If it is a right angled trapezium,
Then
PQ II RS, RQ is the height
PQ = 16 cm
RS = 8 cm
RQ= 17cm
Area of a trapezium = 1/2 x Sum of parallel sides x height
= 1/2 x PQ+RS x RQ
= 1/2 x 24 x 17
Area of trapezium = 204 cm2
Then
PQ II RS, RQ is the height
PQ = 16 cm
RS = 8 cm
RQ= 17cm
Area of a trapezium = 1/2 x Sum of parallel sides x height
= 1/2 x PQ+RS x RQ
= 1/2 x 24 x 17
Area of trapezium = 204 cm2
