Question

The parallel sides of a trapezium measure 14 cm and 18 cm and the distance between theem is 9 cm. The area of the trapezium.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel sides of Trapezium are 14 cm and 18 cm

altitude of Trapezium= 9 cm

OR

height of Trapezium= 9 cm

Area of Trapezium = 1/2*(sum of parallel sides) *height

= 1/2*(14+18)*9

= 144 cm^2

Answer 2

Given :

⬤ Parallel Sides of Trapezium measure 14 cm and 18 cm.

⬤ Distance between them is 9 cm.

To Find :

⬤ Area of Trapezium .

Formula Used :

$\bf[\:{Area \: of \: Trapezium = \dfrac{1}{2} \times{(Sum\: of\: Parallel\: Sides)} \times{h}\:]}$

• h = height

Solution :

• One Parallel Side = 14 cm
• Other Parallel Side = 18 cm
• Height = 9 cm

According to the Formula :-

1/2 × (Sum of Parallel Sides) × h

1/2 × (14 + 18) × 9

1/2 × 32 × 9

16 × 9

144

Therefore, The Area of Trapezium is 144 cm².
