In the given figure ABCD is a trapezium in which AB = 40 m. BC = 15 m, CD = 28 m, AD = 9 m and CE AB. Area of trap. ABCD is

Given:


AB = 40 m


BC = 15 m


AD = 9 m


CD = 28 m.


In trapezium ABCD,


Area of trapezium = 1/2 × sum of parallel sides × distance between them


= 1/2 × (28 + 40) × 9


= 1/2 × 68 × 9


= 306 m2
