The parallel sides of trapezium are 12 cm and 9cm and the distance bet

1.	The parallel sides of trapezium are 12 cm and 9cm and the distance between them is 8 cm. Find the area of the trapezium.
Answer» Area of the trapezium = \(\frac{1}{2}\times \) (sum of the parallel sides) x distance between the parallel sides = \(\frac{1}{2}\times(12+9)\times8\) = 21 x 4 = 84 cm² So, the area of the trapezium is 84 cm².

The parallel sides of trapezium are 12 cm and 9cm and the distance between them is 8 cm. Find the area of the trapezium.

Answer»

Area of the trapezium = \(\frac{1}{2}\times \) (sum of the parallel sides) x distance between the parallel sides

= \(\frac{1}{2}\times(12+9)\times8\)

= 21 x 4

= 84 cm²

So, the area of the trapezium is 84 cm².
