Question:

Study the adjoining picture and answer the following questions:

The area of Trapezum DGCE is.

Options:

100 m2

260 m2

70 m2

130 m2

Correct Answer:

130 m2

Explanation:

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
