Question

In the trapezium , a = 7 cm, b = 10.4 cm and h = 6.7 cm
work out the area of the trapezium

Answer 1

58.29

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a trapezium is
`A=((a+b)*h)/(2)`

Just plug in the values and get:

`A=((a+b)*h)/(2) =((7+10.4)*6.7)/(2) = 58.29`

Just leave a comment if you need to show how it is done without the formula or if you would like to know how to come up with the formula.
