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

Answer:

Area of the trapezium = 30 $cm^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 14

b = 4

h= 5

Area of trapezium =  $\frac{1}{2} }$  ( a + b) h = $\frac{1}{2}$ (14+4) 5

= $\frac{1}{2}$ x 18 x 5 = 6 x 5 [I solved  $\frac{1}{2}$ and 18]

= 30!
