Question

the shape pf the top surface of the table os trapezium . its parallel side s are 1m and1.4 m and the perpendicular distance between them is0.9m.find its area

Answer 1

Given:

Perpendicular distance=.9  m

Parallel sides are 1 m & 1.4 m

Area of Trapezium= ½  × (Sum of parallel sides) × Perpendicular distance

Area of Trapezium

= (1/2) × (1+1.4) ×.9

= ½× 2.4 × .9

= ½ × 2.16

= 1.08 m^2

=1.08 m²

Hence, the area of the top of the table = 1.08 m²
