wooden area is in the shape of a trapezium whose bases measures 128m and 92m
and its height is 40m.A 4m wide walk way is constructed which runs perpendicul
Answers
The area of the trapezium is 4240 m²
Explanation:
The bases of the trapezium are 128 m and 92 m
The height of the trapezium = 40 m
The formula for the area of trapezium is given by:
Area =1/2 x [sum of lengths of the parallel sides] x [perpendicular distance between parallel sides]
Therefore, the area of the trapezium-shaped wooden arc (including the walkway)
= 1/2 x [128 + 92] x 40
= 1/2 x 220 x 40
= 110 x 40
= 4400 m²
It is given that a walkway of 4 m wide and perpendicular to the bases of the trapezium is constructed .
So, the area of the walkway = 4 x 40 = 160 m²
[Formula: area of rectangle = length x breadth]
Thus, the area of the trapezium-shaped wooden arc except the walkway is given by:
= [Area of the trapezium-shaped wooden arc (including the walkway)] – [Area of the walkway]
= 4400 – 160
= 4240 m²
