Question

Find the area of the polygon.

Answer 1

A = 372 units²

Explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases

Here h = 24 , b₁ = 24, b₂ = 7 , then

A =
`(1)/(2)` × 24 × (24 + 7) = 12 × 31 = 372 units²
