The parallel sides of a trapezium are 6cm and 5cm long and 4cm apart.what is the area of the trapezium?
Area = 1/2(a+b)h
= 1/2(6+5)4
= 1/2(11)4
= (11/2)4
= 22
Parallel sides of a trapezium are 6cm and 4cm and distance between them is 5cm. Find the area?
To find the area of a trapezium, you can use the formula:
Area = (b1 + b2) * h / 2
where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel sides, and h is the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides.
In this case, the parallel sides are 6cm and 5cm long, and the distance between them is 4cm.
Substituting the given values into the formula:
Area = (6 + 5) * 4 / 2
Simplifying the expression:
Area = 11 * 4 / 2
Area = 44 / 2
Area = 22 cm²
So, the area of the trapezium is 22 cm².
