Question

The area of the trapezium , if the parallel sides are measuring 8 cm and 10 cm and the height 5 cm is​

Answer 1

Given :-

• In trapezium, the parallel sides are measuring 8 cm and 10 cm and the height 5 cm.

To find :-

• Area of trapezium

Solution :-

• Length of parallel sides = 8cm and 10cm

• Height of trapezium = 5cm

As we know that

→ Area of trapezium = ½ × (a + b) × h

Where " (a + b) " is sum of parallel sides and " h " is distance between parallel sides.

According to question

→ Area of trapezium

→ ½ × sum of parallel sides × height

→ ½ × (8 + 10) × 5

→ ½ × 18 × 5

→ 9 × 5

→ 45cm²

Hence,

• Area of trapezium is 45cm²

Answer 2

Given ,

• The parrallel sides of trapezium are 8 cm and 10 cm

• The Height of trapezium is 5 cm

We know that , the area of trapezium is given by

$\boxed{ \tt{Area = \frac{1}{2} \times (sum \: of \: parrallel \: sides) \times height}}$

Thus ,

Area = 1/2 × (8 + 10) × 5

Area = 1/2 × 18 × 5

Area = 9 × 5

Area = 45 cm²

Therefore , the area of trapezium is 45 cm²
