Question

parell sides 25and11 , non parell 15 and 13​

Answer 1

Answer:

Draw CE such that AECD is a parallelogram

AE = CD = 11 cm

AD = CE = 15 cm

EB = 14 cm

Area of ΔECB =  where s = (a+b+c)/2

a = 13 cm, b = 14 cm, c = 15 cm

Here s = (13+14+15)/2 = 21 cm

Area of ΔECB =  

     

=  

= 84 sq cm

But Area of ΔECB = 1/2 × base (EB) × height (h)

1/2 × 14 × h = 84

h = 12 cm

Area of trapezium ABCD = 1/2 × h × (AB + CD)

 

                                        = 1/2 × 12 × (25 + 11)  

         

                                        =  6 × 36

 

                                        = 216 sq cm
