Explanation:


\underline{ \underline{ \text{Given}}} :

  • Height ( h ) = 4.5 cm
  • Base 1 ( b ) = 5.2 cm
  • Base 2 ( b ) = 10.8 cm


\underline{ \underline{ \text{To \: find}}} :

  • Area of the given trapezium


\underline{ \underline{ \text{Solution}}} :


\boxed{ \sf{Area \: of \: a \: trapezium = (1)/(2) h \: (b_(1) + b_(2))}}

Plug the known values and then simplify !


\sf{ (1)/(2) * 4.5 * (5.2 + 10.8)}


\tt{ (1)/(2) * 4.5 * 16}


\tt{36 \: {cm}^(2) }


\red{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Our \: final \: answer : \boxed{ \underline{ \bold{ \tt{36 \: {cm}^(2) }}}}}}}}

Hope I helped ! ツ

Have a wonderful day / night ! ♡

The area of the trapezium is 25.2 cm².

To calculate the area of a trapezium, we can use the formula:

Area = (a + b) * h / 2

where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides and h is the height.

Given that AB = 5.2 cm, BC = 6 cm, and height = 4.5 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Area = (5.2 + 6) * 4.5 / 2

Area = 11.2 * 4.5 / 2

Area = 50.4 / 2

Area = 25.2 cm²

The probable question may be:

b) Calculate the area of the trapezium

AB=5.2cm

BC= 6cm

height=4.5cm

CD=10.8cm
