Question

The parallel sides of a trapezium are 10 m and 20 m and distance between them is 4 m. What is the area of tapezium?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the trapezium = $= 60 m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel sides of a trapezium are 10 m and 20 m and distance between them is 4 m.

Area of the trapezium = $= \frac{a + b}{2} . h = \frac{10 + 20}{2} . 4 m^2 = 15 . 4 m^2 = 60 m^2$

Answer 2

Given:-

• The parallel sides of a trapezium are 10 m and 20 m
• The distance between the parallels is 4 m (i.e altitude or height)

To find:-

• The area of the trapezium

Solution:-

• The formula to find the area of the trapezium when two parallel sides and the distance between them is given.

$\boxed{\bf{\frac{1}{2}\times (sum\ of\ parallel\ sides) \times height}}$

So,

Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times (10+20) \times 4$

Area = $30*2$

Area = 60m sq.

Hence,

• $\mathbb{The \;area \;of \;the \;trapezium\; is \;60 \;m\; sq.}$
