Question

the perimeter of a trapezium is 104 m its non parallel sides are 18m and 22m and its altitude is 16m . find the area of the trapezium

Answer 1

Perimeter of trapezium=104m
Non parallel sides=18m and 22m
therefore , parallel sides=104m-(18m+22m)=64m
Now, area of trapezium =1/2x(sum of parallel sides)x(distance between them)
=1/2x64mx16m=512m square
