Answer:
[tex] {10cm}^{2} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Sum of parallel sides of the trapezium = 10 cm
Distance between or Height of the trapezium = 2 cm
As we know,
Area of a trapezium
[tex] = \frac{1}{2} \times (sum \: of \: parallel \: sides) \times height[/tex]
Therefore,
Area of the given trapezium will be,
[tex] = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \: cm \times 2 \: cm[/tex]
- (On Simplification )
= 1 × 10 cm × 1 cm
- (On multiplying)
[tex] = 10 {cm}^{2} [/tex]
Hence,
The Area of the trapezium is 10 sq.cm (Ans)
Given :
- The parallel sides of a trapezium are 2 cm apart and their sum is 10 cm.
To Find :
- Its area.
Solution :
We know that,
[tex]{ \qquad \: \pmb{ \dfrac{1}{2} \times (sum \: of \: the \: parallel \: sides) \times height} = \pmb{Area_{(trapezium)}}}[/tex]
Now, Substituting the given values in the formula :
[tex]\qquad { \dashrightarrow \: { \sf{ \dfrac{1}{2} \times 10\: \times 2 \: = {Area_{(trapezium)}}}}}[/tex]
[tex]\qquad { \dashrightarrow \: { \sf{ \dfrac{1}{2} \times 20 = {Area_{(trapezium)}}}}}[/tex]
[tex]\qquad { \dashrightarrow \: { \sf{ \dfrac{20}{2} = {Area_{(trapezium)}}}}}[/tex]
[tex]\qquad { \dashrightarrow \: { \sf{ 10 = {Area_{(trapezium)}}}}}[/tex]
⠀
Hence,
- The area of the trapezium = 10 cm² .
