Question

Theparallel sides of a trapezium are 12cm and 18cm and the distance between them is 6.4m. find the area of the trapezium
​

Answer 1

Area of trapezium = ½ × (p1 + p2) × h

[Here p1 is one of the parallel side and p2 is another]

_______________________________

⇒p1 = 12cm

⇒p2 =18cm

⇒height = 6.4cm

_______________________________

Area = ½ × (12 + 18) × 6.4cm

A = 30 × 3.2cm

$\huge \pink{⇒A = 96cm²}$
