Q4 of 83 Page 351

Find the area of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 9 cm and 6 cm respectively and the distance between these sides is 8 cm.


Given


AB = a = 9 cm


DC = b = 6 cm


Height (h) = 8 cm


We know that area of trapezium is x (sum of parallel sides) x height


Therefore, Area of trapezium ABCD = x (AB + DC) x h = x (9 + 6) x 8 = 60 cm2


Area of Trapezium ABCD = 60cm2
