Answer:
Answer is 5160 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for area of a trapezium= 1/2 x {*sum of parallel sides* (a+b)} x *height* (perpendicular distance between the parallel sides)
So, area of trapezium = 1/2 x (104+68) x 60
= 1/2 x 172 x 60
= 172 x 60 / 2
= 172 x 30
= 5160 cm²
Thus area of the trapezium is 5160 cm²
