Question

The shape of the surface of a table is trapezium. Find its area if its parallel sides are 1m and 1.2 m and perpendicular distance between them is 0.8 m.​

Answer 1

Gɪᴠᴇɴ :-

• Parallel sides = 1m and 1.2 m
• Distance between them = 0.8 m

ᴛᴏ ғɪɴᴅ :-

• Area of Trapezium (Surface of table)

sᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ :-

We know that,

• Area of Trapezium = ½ × (sum of parallel sides) × (distance between them)

Put the above given values in it, we get,

$\implies \sf \: Area \: = \frac{1}{2} \times (1 + 1.2) \times (0.8) \\ \\ \\ \implies \sf \: Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.2 \times 0.8 \\ \\ \\ \implies \sf \: Area = \frac{1.76}{2} \\ \\ \\ \implies \sf \: Area = 0.88 {m}^{2}$

We get,

• Area of trapezium (Table) = 0.88m²

Answer 2

Answer:

0.88 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

AREA OF A TRAPEZIUM = $\frac{1}{2}$ ₓ ( sum of parallel sides) ₓ (perpendicular distance)

                                     Δ = {1/2 x(1+1.2)x(0.8)} m²

                                     Δ = (1/2 x 2.2 x 0.8)m²

                                     Δ = (1.1 x 0.8)m²

                                    Δ =  0.88 m²
