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

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezium=21× sum of parallel sides× perpendicular distance

Parallel sides= 1 and 1.2m

Perpendicular distance=0.8m

So,

Area=21×(1+1.2)×0.8

          =1.1×0.8

          =0.88m2

Answer 2

Given 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 ?

Given ::-

• Shape of surface is trapezium.

• Parallel sides are 1 and 1.2 m

• Height of trapezium is 0.8m

To find ::-

• Find the area of trapezium ?

Formula used ::-

• Area = $\dfrac{1}{2}$ × sum of ll sides × height

Solution ::-

• Parallel sides = 1 and 1.2m

• Height = 0.8m

Area of trapezium

= $\dfrac{1}{2}$ × (1 + 1.2) × 0.8

= $\dfrac{1}{2}$ × 2.2 × 0.8

= 0.88 ${m}^{2}$

__________

Hence, Area of trapezium = 0.88 ${m}^{2}$
