Question

Calculate the area of a trapezium whose parallel sides are $22$ and $10$ m, and a height of $15$ m.

• A. $240$ $m^2$
• B. $230$ $m^2$
• C. $210$ $m^2$
• D. $220$ $m^2$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Area of a trapezoid = $\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}\times h$
= $\frac{12+10}{2}\times 15$
= $\frac{32}{2}\times 15$
= $240$ $m^2$
