Answer 2

Find the sum of the two parallel lines:

Perimeter = 2 parallel sides + 2 non-parallel sides

104 = 2 parallel sides + (18 + 22)

2 parallel sides = 104 - (18 + 22)

2 parallel sides = 64 m

Find the area of the trapezium:

Area = 1/2 (a + b) x h

Area = 1/2 (64) x 16

Area = 512 m²

Answer: The area is 512 m²
