A field is a trapezium with parallel sides 84 m and 42 m and height 60 m. A road occupies a rectangular strip of 40 m x 5 m inside it. Find the remaining (non-road) area of the field (in sq m).

Question

Accepted Answer

3580. Trapezium area = 1/2(84 + 42)(60) = 1/2(126)(60) = 3780 sq m. Road = 40 x 5 = 200 sq m. Remaining = 3780 - 200 = 3580 sq m.
