Question

The parallel sides of a trapezium are 6 cm and 8 cm and the distance between them is 2 cm. Find its area.

• A. $14c{m}^2$
  
• B. $12c{m}^2$
  
• C. $10c{m}^2$
  
• D. $9c{m}^2$
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A $14c{m}^2$


Given:
a = 6 cm
b = 8 cm
c = 2 cm

$Area=\frac{1}{2}(a+b)\times h$
= $\frac{1}{2}(6+8)\times 2$
= $14c{m}^2$

Area = $14c{m}^2$
