Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Area is 8.8m

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a trapezium=0.5 × (sum of parallel sides) × height

=>0.5×(1+1.2)×0.8

=>2.2×0.4

=>8.8m

Answer 2

Given :

• Two parallel sides = 1m and 1.2 m
• Height = 0.8 m

To Find :

• Area of Table

Solution :

$\tt{Parallel\:sides=1m\:and\:1.2m}$

$\longrightarrow\tt{Height(h)=0.8m}$

Using Formula :

$\tt\boxed{Area\:of\:Trapezium=\dfrac{1}{2}\times{Sum\:of\:parallel\:sides}\times{h}}$

Putting Values :

$\longrightarrow\tt{\dfrac{1}{2}\times{(1+1.2)}\times{0.8}}$

$\longrightarrow\tt{\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{22}{10}\times\dfrac{08}{10}}$

$\longrightarrow\tt{\cancel\dfrac{176}{200}}$

$\longrightarrow\tt\bold{0.88{m}^{2}}$

So , The Area of top surface of the table is 0.88m²...
