Question

The parallel sides of a trapezium are 85 cm and 63 cm and its altitude is 36 cm.Calculate its area. (explain in detail with formula)​

Answer 1

Answer:

2664 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel sides = 85 cm , 63 cm

Altitude = 36 cm

Area = h(a + b)/ 2 (

Here 'h' is height, 'a' is one of the parallel sides and 'b' is one of the parallel sides)

= 36(85+63)/2

= 36(148)/2

= 18*148

= 2664 cm^2

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezium=1/2(a+b)*h

parallel sides of a trapezium= 85 cm and 63

altitude (height) = 36 cm

Area of trapezium= 1/2(85+63)*36

1/2(148)*36

2592

therefore, Area of the trapezium= 2592 sq.cm
