Tick (✓) the correct answer:
The parallel sides of a trapezium measure 14 cm and 18 cm and the distance between them is 9 cm. The area of the trapezium is
(a) 96 cm²
(b) 144 cm²
(c) 189 cm²
(d) 207 cm²

Solution

(b) 144 cm²
$Area of the trapezium = \{\frac{1}{2} \times (14 + 18) \times 9\} {cm}^{2}$
$= (\frac{1}{2} \times 32 \times 9) c m^{2} = 144 c m^{2}$
