    Question

    The lengths of a pair of parallel sides of a trapezium

    are respectively 12 cm and 20 cm, and the perpendicular distance between these two sides is 14 cm. What is the area (in cm┬▓) of the trapezium?
    A 448 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 224 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 112 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 336 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Area of trapezium = 1/2 x sum of its parallel sides x perpendicular distance between parallel sides 1/2 x (20 + 12) x 14 cm┬▓ = (1/2 x 32 x 14) cm┬▓ = (32 x 7) cm┬▓ = 224 cm┬▓ The area of the trapezium is 224 cm┬▓.
