Question

the shape of the top surface of a table is a trapezium find its area if its parallel sides are 1.2 and 1.4 M and perpendicular distance between them is 0.75 m

Answer 1

Area of trapezium = 1/2(sum of parallel sides) x height 


So,area = 1/2 x (1 + 1.4) x 0.9
= 1/2 x 2.4 x 0.9
= 1.2 x 0.9
= 1.08 sq m
