Compute the area of trapezium PQRS in Fig.

Answer»

We have, 

Area of trapezium PQRS = Area of rectangle PSRT + Area (Δ QRT) 

Area of trapezium PQRS = PT x RT + (QT x RT) = 8 x RT + (8 x RT) = 12 x RT 

In Δ QRT, we have 

QR2 = QT2 + RT2 

RT2 = QR2 - QT2 

RT2 = (17)2 - (8)2 

= 225 

= 15 

Hence, 

Area of trapezium PQRS = 12 x 15 

= 180 cm2
