Answer :
Final answer:
To find the area of a trapezium, use the formula: Area = 1/2 x (a + b) x h, substituting the given values to calculate the area. Thus (option e) is right answer.
Explanation:
The area of a trapezium can be calculated using the formula:
Area = 1/2 x (a + b) x h, where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides, and h is the distance between them.
Given the values a = 25 cm, b = 11 cm, h = 15 cm, and the height from the trapezium of 13 cm, substitute these values into the formula to find the area.
Calculating, we get:
Area = 1/2 x (25 + 11) x 15 = 1/2 x 36 x 15 = 270 cm². Thus (option e) is right answer.
The parallel sides of a trapezium are 25 cm and 11 cm, while its non-parallel sides are 15 cm and 13 cm. Find the area of the trapezium
a) 168 cm²
b) 172 cm²
c) 176 cm²
d) 180 cm²
e) 270 cm²
