Question

Two parallel sides of a trapezium are of length a cm and b cm and distance between them is d cm.The area of the trapezium is given by: ½(a+b)×d cm²
(explain in detail)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The formula for the area of a trapezium is

1/2*(sum of parallel sides) *h

In the given sum,

a and b are the parallel sides of the trapezium

d is the height which in other words is the distance between the two parallels

so, the values are substituted in the formula

=1/2*(a+b)*d

and cm square is the unit
