The area of trapezium, whose parallel sides are 3.0 m and 6.0 m and perpendicular distance between them is 8.0 m, is:

The area of trapezium, whose parallel sides are 3.0 m and 6.0 m and perpendicular distance between them is 8.0 m, is:

A 22 m²

B 24 m²

C 48 m²

D 72 m²

E 36 m²

Solution

Correct Answer: Option E

We know that:

Area of trapezium = (1/2)× (sum of parallel sides) × height

= (1/2) (3+6)×8

= 36 m²
