Question
Find the area of trapezium with base 15 cm and height 8 cm, if the side parallel to the given base is 9 cm long.
Solution
Given:
Lengths of the parallel sides are 15 cm and 9 cm.
Height = 8 cm
Area of trapezium\[=\frac{1}{2}\times(\text{ Sum of the opposite sides })\times(\text{ Distance between the parallel sides })\]
\[ = \frac{1}{2} \times (15 + 9) \times (8)\]
=96 cm2
