In a trapezium the parallel sides are 25 cm and 13 cm, and each of the two non-parallel sides is 10 cm. Find its area in cm².

Question

Accepted Answer

152. The trapezium is isosceles, so the overhang on each side = (25 − 13)/2 = 6 cm. Height = √(10² − 6²) = √64 = 8 cm. Area = ½ × (25 + 13) × 8 = ½ × 38 × 8 = 152 cm².
