Question

two parallel sides DcC and AB of a trapezium are 12 cm and 36 cm respectively if non-parallel sides are each equal to 15 cm find the are of trapezium

Answer 1

Hey there,

Area of the trapezium

      = ¹/₂ × (sum of parallel sides) × (distance between them) 

      = {¹/₂ × (27 + 19) × 14} cm²

      = 322 cm²

Hope this helps!
