Question

How to find a parallel sides of trapezium length 7.3mm and 5.3mm ,and it's height is 5mm calculate the area of a trapezium

Answer 1

Answer:

31.50 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezoid is a convex quadrilateral. A trapezoid has at least on pair of parallel sides. the parallel sides are called bases while the non parallel sides are called legs

Characteristics of a trapezoid

It has 4 vertices and edges

If both pairs of its opposite sides of a trapezoid are parallel, it becomes a parallelogram

Area of a trapezoid =  1/2 x (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) x height

1/2 x ( 7.3 + 5.3) x 5 = 31.50 mm²
