Question

the sum of two parallel sides of a trapezium is 50 cm and the perpendicular distance between them is 11 cm find the area of the trapezium

Answer 1

Answer:

Area = 275 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Which implies

Area = 1/2 × 50 × 11

Area = 275 cm²

Answer 2

Answer:

Formula--- area of trap =  1/2 * sum of parallel sides * height
