Hey there !!

The formula to find the area of trapezium is -

1/2 × (a+b)h

So ,here

The area of trapezium will be-

1/2×(15+8)12

=1/2×(23×12)

=1/2×276

=138 cm^2

Hope this helps !!!

Answer 2

Here, parallel sides and height is given, so we will directly put them in the formula.
Formula is:-
Area of TRAPEZIUM = 1/2 * (sum of parallel sides)* height
