Question 78

The length of two parallel sides of a trapezium are 18 m and 24 m. If its height is 12 m, then what is the area $$(in m^2)$$ of the trapezium ?

Solution

Sum of parallel sides = 18 + 24 = 42 m and height = 12 m

Area of trapezium = $$\frac{1}{2}\times h\times$$ (sum of parallel sides)

= $$\frac{1}{2}\times42\times12$$

= $$42\times6=252$$ $$m^2$$
