The parallel sides of a trapezium are 9.7 cm and 6.3 cm, and the distance between them is 6.5 cm. The area of the trapezium is
Given:
Side 1 = 9.7 cm
Side 2 = 6.3 cm
Distance between sides = 6.5 cm
Area of trapezium = 1/2 × sum of parallel sides × distance between them
= 1/2 × (9.7 + 6.3) × 6.5
= 1/2 × 16 × 6.5
= 52 cm2
