Question

the two parallel sides of a Trapezium are 21 cm and 19 cm and the distance between them is 13 cm find the area of the trapezium ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

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

=1/2(21+19)13

=1/2(40)13

=20(13)

=260cm^2

Answer 2

The area of the trapezium ​is $260cm^{2}.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The two parallel sides of a trapezium = 21 cm and 19 cm and

Distance between them = 13 cm

To find, the area of the trapezium ​= ?

We know that,

The area of the trapezium = $\dfrac{1}{2}$ × (Sum of parallel sides) ​× (Distance between them)

$= \dfrac{1}{2}\times (21 + 19)\times (13)$

$= \dfrac{1}{2}\times 40\times (13)$

$=20\times (13)=260cm^{2}$

Hence, the area of the trapezium ​is $260cm^{2}.$.
