what is area of trapezium?
Dear Student,
Solution)
Area of trapezium is equal to half of the product of sum of parallel sides and perpendicular distance between them.
Let a and b be the length of two parallel sides and h be the perpendicular distance between them, then
Area of trapezium =
Area of Trapezium = × (sum of parallel side) × (Distance between Parallel side)
For example
The parallel sides of a trapezium are 7cm and 5cm long and the distance between them is 6cm. Find area of trapezium.
Sol:
Area of trapezium = x (sum of the length parallel sides) x(distance between them)
=x(5+7)x6 cm sq
= x12x6
= 36 cm sq
Regards!
