Question

The lengths of parallel sides of a trapezium are 20cm and 14cm. the

distance between them is 10cm. find area of the trapezium.​

Answer 1

Answer :

The area of trapezium is 120 cm²

Step-by-step explanation :

To Find,

• The area of trapezium. .... ?

Solution,

Given that,

• The lengths of parallel sides of a trapezium are 20 cm and 14 cm

• Distance between them is 10 cm

As we know that,

Area of trapezium = 1/2 × ( sum of parallel sides ) × ( distance between them )

Therefore,

» Area = 1/2 × ( 20 + 14 ) × 10

» 1/2 × 24 × 10

» 1 × 12 × 10

» 12 × 10

» 120

∴ Hence, the area of trapezium is 120 cm².
