Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 13 cm Given: ABCD is a trapezium, AB ∥ DC The area of ABCD = 180 cm2 AB = 17 cm Height of the trapezium = 12 cm Formula Used: Area of trapezium = 1/2 × height × (Sum of parallel sides) Calculation: Area of trapezium = 1/2 × height × (Sum of parallel sides) ⇒ 180 = 1/2 × 12 × (AB + CD) ⇒ 180 = 6 × (17 + CD) ⇒ CD = 30 – 17 ⇒ CD = 13 ∴ The length of CD is 13 cm. |
