Question

Find the area of the given trapezium.

• A. 200 cm${}^2$
• B. 202 cm${}^2$
• C. 204 cm${}^2$
• D. 206 cm${}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C 204 cm${}^2$


Area of the trapezium $=\frac{1}{2}\times \text{(sum of the parallel sides)}\times height$ $=\frac{1}{2}\times (20+14)\times 12$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times 34\times 12=204c{m}^2$
