The parallel sides of a trapezium measure 20 cm and 28 cm respectively

1.	The parallel sides of a trapezium measure 20 cm and 28 cm respectively and the distance between them is 10 cm. Find the area of trapezium.
Answer» ONG>Answer: 240 cm. Step-by-step EXPLANATION: Formula of Area of Trapezium= AVERAGE of the sum of two parallel sides × height ∴ 1/2 (One SIDE + Another side) × height = 1/2 (20 + 28) × 10 = 1/2 × 48 × 10 = 1/2 × 480 = 240 Answer: 240 cm

The parallel sides of a trapezium measure 20 cm and 28 cm respectively and the distance between them is 10 cm. Find the area of trapezium.

Answer» ONG>Answer:

240 cm.

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

Formula of Area of Trapezium= AVERAGE of the sum of two parallel sides × height

∴ 1/2 (One SIDE + Another side) × height

= 1/2 (20 + 28) × 10

= 1/2 × 48 × 10

= 1/2 × 480

= 240

Answer: 240 cm
