1.	The parallel sides of a trapezium measure 20 cm and 28 cm respectively and the distance between them is10 cm. Find the area of trapezium.
Answer» 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
