# RD Sharma Solutions Class 8 Area Of Trapezium And Polygon

## RD Sharma Solutions Class 8 Chapter 20

In previous chapters, we have learned to find the area and perimeters of various plane figures like triangles, squares, rhombuses etc. Now, in this chapter, we will learn to find the area of the trapezium. We will also practice different problems on finding the areas of polygons by utilizing the formulas of the area of triangle and trapezium.

The areas and perimeters of various plane figures are given below:

Area of Rectangle = length $\times$ Breadth

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 (Length + Breadth)

Area of Square = Side $\times$ Side

Perimeter of Square = 4 $\times$ Side

Area of parallelogram = Base $\times$ Height

Perimeter of parallelogram  = 2 $\times$ (Sum of two adjacent sides)

Area of Triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ base $\times$ height

Area of Circle = $\pi \; r^{2}$ and Perimeter of Circle = $2 \;\pi \; r$
