Question

two parallel sides of a trapezium are 6cm and 4 cm .the distance between the parallel sides is 5 cm.find it's area.please help me it's urgent​

Answer 1

Answer:

see, dividing the trapezium into two triangle and one rectangle,

rectangle having one side =6 cm

triangle's sides are 5cm and 4cm

To find the third side or the perpendicular distance between both parallel lines,

Apply pythagoras' theorem.

height =√((5)² -(4)²)

           = 3 cm

so, area = (1/2)×(sum of parallel side)×(distance between them)

              = (1/2)×(6+ 14)×3

              = 30 cm²
