Question

The parallel sides of a trapezium are 6 cm and 10 cm long. If the distance between the parallel
sides is 5 cm, find the area of the trapezium.​

Answer 1

Given :Two parallel sides of trapezium are 6cm and 10cm

Distance between these two sides is=5 cm

TO FIND: area of trapezium

Solution:

Using formula :

Area of trapezium = 1/2 ×(sum of parallel

1/2 ×(sum of parallel sides)× distance between them

= 1/2×(6cm+10cm)×5cm

=1/2 ×16cm ×5cm

= 40cm²

ANSWER: Area of trapezium is 40 cm²

Answer 2

Answer:

40cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Parallel side=10 and 6 cm

hieght= 5cm

Area of trapizum = 1/2 × sum of parallel side × distance beetween them

1/2×16×5

8×5

40 cm²
