Question

b) Calculate the area of the trapezium
5.2cm
Not drawn accurately
6cm
4.5cm
10.8cm

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\underline{ \underline{ \text{Given}}} :$

• Height ( h ) = 4.5 cm
• Base 1 ( b ) = 5.2 cm
• Base 2 ( b ) = 10.8 cm

$\underline{ \underline{ \text{To \: find}}} :$

• Area of the given trapezium

$\underline{ \underline{ \text{Solution}}} :$

$\boxed{ \sf{Area \: of \: a \: trapezium = \frac{1}{2} h \: (b_{1} + b_{2})}}$

Plug the known values and then simplify !

⟶ $\sf{ \frac{1}{2} \times 4.5 \times (5.2 + 10.8)}$

⟶ $\tt{ \frac{1}{2} \times 4.5 \times 16}$

⟶ $\tt{36 \: {cm}^{2} }$

$\red{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Our \: final \: answer : \boxed{ \underline{ \bold{ \tt{36 \: {cm}^{2} }}}}}}}}$
