Solution

The correct option is A. 2688 cm2

Area of the figure ABCDEF= Area of trapezium BCAF+ Area of trapezium FCDE

Let a and b be the parallel sides of the trapezium and h be the height of the trapezium.

Area of trapezium =12(sum of parallel sides)×height

=12×(57+39)×28=1344 cm2

Area of the figure ABCDEF=2× Area of trapezium BCAF [As two trapezium are same]

=2×1344

=2688cm2
