are 16 cm and 32cm, height is
lo cm Find the area.​

Answer 1

Hope this helps you..........

Answer 2

• The area of the trapezium = 240 cm².

Given :

• The length of the first side of the trapezium = 16 cm.
• The length of the second side of the trapezium = 32 cm.
• The length of the height of the trapezium = 10 cm.

To Find :

• The area of the trapezium.

Solution :

We have to find the area of the trapezium.

We know that,

${\underline{\underline{\boxed{\blue{\bf{Area \: of \: trapezium = \frac{1}{2} \times (sum \: of \: two \: sides) \times h }}}}}}$

Given,

• The first side = 16 cm.

• The second side = 32 cm.

• The sum of two sides = 16 cm + 32 cm.
• Height = 10 cm.

Now, substitute all the given values in the formula of the trapezium.

$: \implies \bf \dfrac{1}{2} \times (16 \: cm + 32 \: cm) \times 10 \: cm \\ \\ \\ : \implies \bf \dfrac{1}{2} \times 48 \: cm \times 10 \: cm \\ \\ \\ : \implies \bf 1 \times 48 \: cm \times 5 \: cm \\ \\ \\ : \implies \bf 48 \: cm \times 5 \: cm \\ \\ \\ : \implies \bf 240 \: {cm}^{2} \\ \\ \\ \: \bf \therefore \: \: A = 240 \: {cm}^{2}$

Hence,

The area of the trapezium is 240 cm².
