Find the area of the trapezium whose parallel sides are 14 cm and 10 cm and whose height is 6 cm.

Given: Length of parallel sides 14 cm and 10 cm, height is 6cm


We know that area of trapezium is given by: 1/2 (sum of parallel sides)×height


∴ Area of trapezium = 1/2 (14 + 10)×6 = 72cm2


∴ Area of trapezium = 72cm2
