Question

The doormat which is in a hexagonal shape has the following measures as given in the figure. Find its area.

Sum

Solution

Area of the doormat = Area of 2 trapezium

Height of the trapezium h = `70/2` cm; a = 90 cm, b = 70 cm

∴ Area of the trapezium = `1/2 "h" ("a" + "b")  "sq.units"`

Area of the doormat = `2 xx 1/2 xx 35(90 xx 70)  "cm"^2`

= 35 × 160 cm2 = 5600 cm2

∴ Area of the doormat = 5600 cm2
