Question

the parallel sides of a trapezoid measure 12 m and 16 m if the distance between the two parallel sides is 10 m what is the area of the area of the trapezoid

Answer 1

$(area \: of \: trapezium = \frac{1}{2} \times sum \: o \:f \: prallel \: side \: \times h \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times (12 + 16) \times 10 \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 28 \times 10 \\ = \ 14 \times 10 \\ = 140 {m}^{2}$
