The political parties also mobilize masses through their various functions like parties that lose an election they play the role of opposition to the party in power, shape public opinion, etc.

Answer 2

Answer:

Perimeter of trapezium = 104 m

Length of Non-parallel sides = 18 m and 22 m

Altitude = 16m

Area of Trapezium = 0.5 * (sum of parallel sides)*altitude ------ (1)

Sum of parallel sides = Perimeter - (sum of non-parallel sides) = 104 m - (18+22)m = 104-40 m = 64 m

From (1), Area of Trapezium = 0.5*64*16 = 512 m^2

Ans: Area of trapezium = 512 m^2
