Question:

The length of two parallel sides of a trapezium are 15m and 20m. If its height is 22m, then what is the area of the trapezium?

Options:

295 m²

385 m²

425 m²

315 m²

Correct Answer:

385 m²

Explanation:

Area of a trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}(sum\;of\;parallel\;sides) \times\;height$

                              =  $\frac{1}{2}(15 + 20) \times 22$

                              =  385 m²
