$\huge \red \star \: \: \huge \sf \underline{ \blue{answer : }} \: \: \huge \red \star \:$

➾ We know the formula for Area of Trapezium,

$\small \boxed{ \sf{area = \frac{1}{2} \times (sum \: of \: parallel \: sides) (perpendiular \: distance}}$

➥Here,

• Parallel sides are 20m and 15m.
• Perpendicaular distance is 10m.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Putting the values in formula , we get,

$\tt{area = \frac{1}{2} (20 + 15)(10)} \\ \\ \tt{area = \frac{1}{2} (35)(10)} \\ \\ \tt{area \: = \frac{1}{2}(350) } \\ \\ \red{\implies} \tt{ \blue{area = 175 {m}^{2} }}$

Area of the trapezium is 175m².
