Find the area of the figure below which is made of two equal trapeziums. Two parallel sides of a trapezium are of lengths 57cm and 39cm. The distance between the parallel sides AB and FC is 28cm.
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
