Find the area of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 38.7 cm and 22.3 cm, and the distance between them is 16 cm.
Given
Length of parallel sides is 38.7cm and 22.3 cm
Height (h) = 16 cm
We know that area of trapezium is 
× (sum of parallel sides) × height
Therefore Area of trapezium = 
× (38.7 +22.3) × 16 = 488 cm2.
