The two parallel sides of a trapezium are 17 cm and 15 cm, respectively. If the height of the trapezium is 6 cm, then its area (in m²) is:

0.0096

We know that,

Area of trapezium = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (Sum of parallel side) × Height 

We have,

Length₁ = 17 cm

Length₂ = 15 cm

Height = 6 cm

Area of trapezium = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (17 + 15) × 6 = 96 cm² = 0.0096 m²
