Question

The shape of the top surface of a table is a trapezium. Find its area if its parallel sides are 1 m and 1.2 m and perpendicular distance between them is 0.8 m.

Answer 1

Here one parallel side of the trapezium (a) = 1 m And 

second side (b) = 1.2 m and height (h) = 0.8 m

Hence, the surface area of the table is 0.88 m².
