Question

The parallel side of a trapezium are 20 m and 15 m long. The distance between these two lines is 10 m.Find the area of this trapezium.

Answer 1

area of trapezium = 1/2 * (a+b)*h
a=20m
b=15m
h=10
so
1/2(20+15)*10
1/2(35)*10
1/2*350
=175m
Hope ot woild helped

Answer 2

Given : The parallel sides of a trapezium are 20 m and 15 m long. The distance between these two lines is 10 m.

To find : The area of the given trapezium.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the area of the given trapezium)

Here, we will be using the following mathematical formula.

Area of a trapezium = ½ × (sum of the parallel sides) × (distance between the parallel sides)

By, putting the available data in the above mentioned mathematical formula, we get :

Area of the trapezium = ½ × (20+15) × 10 = 175 m²

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the area of the trapezium is 175 m².
