Question

Find the area of a trapezium whose parallel sides are respectively 14cm and 4cm and distance between the parallel sides is 5cm.

Answer 1

Area of the trapezium = 30
`cm^(2)`

Explanation:

a = 14

b = 4

h= 5

Area of trapezium =
`(1)/(2) }` ( a + b) h =
`(1)/(2)` (14+4) 5

=
`(1)/(2)` x 18 x 5 = 6 x 5 [I solved
`(1)/(2)` and 18]

= 30!
