Question

What will be the area of a trapezium having two || sides as 10 cm and 12 cm and height as

4 cm​

Answer 1

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\red{Given :-}}}}$

• The two || sides as 10 cm and 12 cm .

• The height is 4 cm .

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\pink{To\:Find :-}}}}$

• The area of a trapezium .

$\sf{\huge{\underline{\orange{Answer :-}}}}$

We have ,

$\setlength{\unitlength}{1.1 cm}\begin{picture}(0,0)\linethickness{0.4mm}\qbezier(0,0)(0,0)(1.5,3)\qbezier(7,0)(7,0)(5.5,3)\qbezier(1.5,3)(1.5,3)(5.5,3)\qbezier(7,0)(7,0)(0,0)\put(1.3,3.2){ \sf A }\put(-0.35,-0.35){ \sf B }\put(1.5,-0.4){ \sf C }\put(5.3,-0.4){ \sf D }\put(5.45,3.15){ \sf F }\put(7.2,-0.34){ \sf E }\qbezier(5.5,0)(5.5,0)(5.5,3)\qbezier(1.5,0)(1.5,0)(1.5,3)\put(3.2, 3.2){ \sf x \: cm }\put(2, - 0.3){\vector(1,0){3}}\put(2, - 0.3){\vector(-1,0){0}}\put(3.2,-0.7){ \sf }\put(5.7,-0.3){\vector(1,0){1.2}}\put(5.7,-0.3){\vector(-1,0){0}}\put(6,-0.7){ \sf }\put(0.2, - 0.3){\vector(1,0){1.2}}\put(0.2,-0.3){\vector(-1,0){0}}\put(0.55,-0.7){ \sf }\put(0.2, - 1){\vector(1,0){6.7}}\put(0.2, - 1){\vector(-1,0){0}}\put(3,-1.45){ \sf x+2y \: cm }\put(1.7, 1.4){ \sf }\put(4.55,1.4){\sf }\end{picture}$

The area of a trapezium = ½ × sum of || sides × height

➝ ½ × ( 10 + 12 ) × 4

➝ ½ × 22 × 4

➝ 11 × 4

➝ 44cm²

The area of a trapezium is 44cm² .
