Question

If the perimeter of a trapezium is 68cm, its non -parallel sides are equal to 12cm each and its altitude is 4cm. The area of the trapezium is​

Answer 1

88 cm², hope it helps.

Answer 2

88 cm²

Explanation:

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

12 * 2 = 24

68 -24 = 44

44 is (a + b) as they are the sum of the parallel sides of the trapezium.

h (altitude) = 4

`(1)/(2)`(44)(4) = 88 cm²
