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:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
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
