Question

The parallel sides of a trapezium are 1.5 m and 1.2 m and perpendicular distance between parallel sides is

0.84 m . Find the area of trapezium.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area of trapezium=

$\frac{1}{2} \times (a + b) \times h$

given, a= 1.5 m

b= 1.2m

height = 0.84 m

area =

$\frac{1}{2} \times (1.5 + 1.2) \times 0.84 \\ = 2.7 \times 0.42 \\ = 1.13m ^{2}$
