Question

Match the areas of trapeziums whose sum of parallel sides and distance between them is given respectively .

• A. 25 $c{m}^2$
• B. 42 $c{m}^2$
• C. 6 $c{m}^2$
• D. 12 $c{m}^2$

Answer 1

Area of trapezium is given by

$\frac{1}{2}\times \left(sumofparallelside\right)\times distancebetweeenthem$

Hence,

$\frac{1}{2}\times 10\times 5$ = 25 $c{m}^2$
$\frac{1}{2}\times 12\times 7$ = 42 $c{m}^2$
$\frac{1}{2}\times 6\times 2$ = 6 $c{m}^2$
$\frac{1}{2}\times 8\times 3$ = 12 $c{m}^2$
