Question

the parellel sides of trapezium are 15m and 8m while its height is 12m finds its area

Answer 1

Area=1/2(15+8)12=1/2×23×12=138m^2

Answer 2

Area of the trapezium = 1/2 (a + b) (h) where a and b are the length of the parallel sides and h the height.

Find the area of the trapezium:

Given a = 15, b = 8, h = 12

Area = 1/2 ( 15 + 8) (12) = 138 m²

Answer: The area is 138 m²
