For a * = 2bc
for b * = 5ab
<u>Answer</u>
24 square units
<u>Explanation</u>
The formula for getting the area of a trapezium is
Area = 1/2 h(a+b0
where h ⇒ perpendicular height
a and b ⇒ length of the parallel sides.
h = 2 - -2 = 4 units
a = 5 - -3 = 8 units
b = 3 - -1 = 4 units
Area = 1/2 × 4(8+4)
= 2×12
= 24 square units.
