Answer 2

Given:-

• Parallel sides of a trapezium are 18 m and 8 m.
• Distance between these sides is 6 m.

To find:-

• Area of trapezium.

Solution:-

We know that,

$\boxed{ \sf \bold{Area \: of \: trapezium = \cfrac{1}{2} \times (a + b) \times h}}$

In which,

• a and b are parallel sides of trapezium.
• h is height or we can say distance between parallel sides.

a = 18 m

b = 8m

h = 6m

Put, All values in formula :

$\longrightarrow \sf \bold{ \cfrac{1}{ \cancel{2}} \times (18 + 8) \times \cancel{6}}$

$\longrightarrow \sf \bold{26 \times 3}$

$\longrightarrow \sf \bold{78}$

Therefore,

Area of trapezium is 78 m².
