Study the adjoining picture and answer the following questions:
The area of Trapezum DGCE is.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The area of trapezium DGCE is 130 m².
Reasoning:
In trapezium DGCE, the parallel sides are:
-
DG = 5 m
-
EC = 15 m
The distance between the parallel sides (height) is 13 m.
The correct answer is Option 4: 130 m2
Using the trapezium area formula:
Area = 1/2 × (sum of parallel sides) × height
Area
= 1/2 × (5 + 15) × 13
= 1/2 × 20 × 13
= 130 m²
