The sunshade of a window is in the form of isoceles trapezium whose parallel sides are 81 cm and 64 cm and the distance between them is 6 cm. Find the cost of painting the surface at the rate of Rs 2 per sq. cm.

Answer»

Given the parallel sides a = 81 cm; b = 64 cm 

Distance between ‘a’ and ‘b’ is height h = 6 cm 

Area of the trapezium = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x h(a + b) sq. units 

= \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 6 x (81 + 64) = 3 x 145 cm2 = 435 cm2 

Cost of painting 1 cm2 = Rs 2 

Cost of painting 435 cm2 = Rs 435 x 2 = Rs 870 

Cost of painting = Rs 870
