Answer:
(i) Area of trapezium
=\frac{1}{2}\ (Sum\: of\: Parallel\: sides)\times (Distance\: between \:parallel \:sides)
=\frac{1}{2}\times 16\times 3
=27cm^{2}
(ii)
Area of trapezium
=\frac{1}{2}\ (Sum\: of\: Parallel\: sides)\times (Distance\: between \:parallel \:sides)
=\frac{1}{2}\times (10+5)\times 6
=45 cm^{2}
GIVEN :-
Parallel Sides = 10cm and 5cm.
h = 6cm
TO FIND :-
Area of Trapezium
SOLUTION :-
Area of Trapezium:-
½ × Sum of Parallel Sides × Distance Between Them
= ½ × ( b1 + b2 ) × h
= ½ × 10 + 5 × 6
= ½ × 40
= 20
So,
Area of Trapezium = 20Cm.
