Question

The parallel sides of a trapezium are 25 cm and 11 cm, the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides is 13 cm. Find the area of the trapezium.

• A. 150 cm²
• B. 180 cm²
• C. 234 cm²
• D. Data insufficient

Answer 1

The correct option is C

234 cm²

Area of trapezium = h $\times$ $\frac{(a+b)}{2}$sq. units
Where, h is the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides and the parallel sides are of length a and b.
= $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ (25 + 11) $\times$ 13 = 234 $c{m}^2$
