Find the area of Fig. 20.35 as the sum of the areas of two trapezium and a rectangle.

Area of figure = Area of two trapeziums + area of rectangle


Length of rectangle = 50 cm


Breadth of rectangle = 10 cm


Length of parallel sides of trapezium = 30 cm and 10 cm


Distance between parallel sides of trapezium =


Area of figure =


Area of figure = 2 ×
