Question

The shape of the top surface of a table is trapezium.find its area if it’s parallel side are 1 m and 1.2 m and perpendicular distance between them is 0.8

Answer 1

$\red{\textbf{Answer :-}}$$= 0.88 {m}^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\red{\textbf{Given :-}}$

${\textbf{parallel sides = 1.2m and 1m}}$

${\textbf{perpendicular distance = 0.8}}$

$\red{\textbf{To find :-}}$

${\textbf{Area of trapezium}}$

$\red{\textbf{According to the question ,}}$

$Area \: of \: trapezium=$

$\frac{1}{2} \times sum \: of \: parallel \: sides \: ×  \: perpendicular \: distance \: Parallel \:sides$

$= 1 \: and \: 1 .2m \:$

$Perpendicular \: d istance=0.8m$

$So,$

$Area= \: \frac{1}{2} \times (1 + 1.2) \times 0.8$

$= 1.1 \times 0.8$

$= 0.88 {m}^{2}$

$\red{\textbf{Thus, The area is }}$$= 0.88 {m}^{2}$
