Question

THE PERIMETER OF A TRAPEZIUM IS 72 CM AND ITS NON PARALLEL SIDES ARE 12 CM EACH . FIND ITS AREA IF THE HEIGHT IS 16CM

Answer 1

here,
sum of two parallel side of trapezium=72-(12+16) cm
=72-28 cm
= 44 cm

and height=16 cm

now,

area of trapezium= 1/2(sum of the parallel side)
×height
= (1/2(44) ×16) cm^2
= (22×16)cm^2
=(352) cm^2
= 352 cm^2
