Question

A park in the shape of trapezoid is represented below. The area of the park is

• A. 56 sq m
• B. 76 sq m
• C. 106 sq m

Answer 1

The correct option is B 76 sq m

The park is in the form of trapezoid..



Area of the trapezoid = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle

The length of the rectangle = 14 m

Breadth of the rectangle = 4 m

Area of rectangle = length $\times$ breadth

= 14 $\times$ 4 = 56 sq m

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ base $\times$ height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ 10 $\times$ 4 = 20 sq m

Area of the children's park = 56 + 20 = 76 sq m
