Question

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

Answer 1

A=(a+b) *h/2= (7+10,4)*6,7/2=17,4*6,7/2=58,29 cm^2

Answer 2

Answer : The area of trapezium is,
`58.29cm^2`

Step-by-step explanation :

Formula used to calculate the area of trapezium is:

Area of trapezium =
`(1)/(2)* h* (a+b)`

where,

h = height of trapezium = 6.7 cm

a = smaller length of trapezium = 7 cm

b = larger length of trapezium = 10.4 cm

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Area of trapezium =
`(1)/(2)* (6.7cm)* (7cm+10.4cm)`

Area of trapezium =
`58.29cm^2`

Therefore, the area of trapezium is,
`58.29cm^2`
