Question

The parallel sides of a trapezium measure 14 cm and 18 cm and the distance between them is 9 cm. The area of the trapezium is _________ *

96 Sq.cm
144 Sq.cm
189 Sq.cm
207 Sq.cm​

Answer 1

Given :-

•The parallel sides of a trapezium measure 14cm

• The distance between them is 9cm

Solution :-

[ • A trapezium is a closed convex quadrilateral figure consist two opposite parallel sides ]

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

Here,

Parallel sides = 14cm and 18cm

Height = 9cm

Put the required values in the formula,

Area of trapezium = 1/2 * 9 ( 14 + 18 )

Area of trapezium = 1/2 * 9 * 32

Area of trapezium = 9 * 16

Area of trapezium = 144cm^2

Related formulas :-

[ • Perimeter of trapezium

= AB + BC + CD + AD ]

[ • Area of rectangle = length * breath ]

[ • Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( l + b) ]

[ • Area of square = side * side ]

[ • Perimeter of square = 4 * side ]

Answer 2

Answer:

Hope it helps you.......

your answer is 144 cm ^2
