Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Distance between the parallel sides = 14 cm,
Length of the parallel sides are 20 cm and 25 cm.
Concept Used:
Area of trapezium = (1/2) × Sum f the parallel sides × Perpendicular distance between the parallel sides
Calculation:
According to the Question, We have:
Area of trapezium = (1/2) × Sum f the parallel sides × Perpendicular distance between the parallel sides
Area = (1/2) × (20 + 25) × 14
Area = 45 × 7
Area = 315 cm²
∴ The Area of the trapezium is 315 cm².
