Question

what is the area of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 14cm and 7cm , and the distance between them is 6cm ?

Answer 1

Answer :-

• The area of trapezium is 63cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find :-

• The area of trapezium

Solution:

Given that,

• The parallel sides of trapezium = 14cm and 7cm

• The distance between two parallel sides = 6cm

We know that,

• 1/2 × ( a + b ) × h = Area of trapezium

Where,

• a and b are the two parallel sides of trapezium
• h is the distance between two parallel sides of the trapezium.

According the question,

⟶ 1/2 × ( a + b ) × h

⟶ 1/2 × ( 14 + 7 ) × 6

⟶ 1/2 × 21 × 6

⟶ 1 × 21 × 3

⟶ 21 × 3

⟶ 63

Hence, The area of trapezium is 63cm².

Answer 2

According to the Question we have to find the Area of a trapezium!

Given :-

• Parallel Lines = 14cm and 7cm.
• Distance between 2 parallel lines = 6cm.

Formula used :-

• Area of trapezium = 1/2 × ( a + b ) × h.

Required Solution :-

$\to$ 1/2 × ( a + b ) × h

$\to$ 1/2 × ( 14 + 7 ) × 6

$\to$ 1/2 × 21 × 6

$\to$ 1 × 21 × 3

$\to$ 21 × 3

$\to$ 63

Therefore 63cm² is the area of trapezium.
