विकल्प

• 104 cm²

• 78 cm²

• 52 cm²

• 65 cm²

Answer 1

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 52 cm².

Explanation:

 Area of a trapezium = `1/2 xx ("sum of the parallel sides") xx ("distance between them")`

= `1/2 xx (9.7 + 6.3) xx 6.5`

= `1/2 xx 16 xx 6.5`

= 8 × 6.5

= 52 cm²
