Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of top surface of table is 0.88 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Now,

Given the top surface is in the shape of a trapezium

Area of the top surface

=Area of trapezium

=1/2*(Sum of parallel Sides)*Height

Given,

Length of parallel sides is 1m and 1.2m,

- a=1m & b= 1.2m

& height =Perpendicular distance between Parallel Sides

h=0.8m

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

Area=1/2*(1+1.2)*0.8

=1/2*2.2*0.8

=1/2*22/10*8/10

=22*4/100

=88/100

=0.88 m²

Area of top surface of table is 0.88 m²
