| Height 'h' | Parallel side 'a` | Parallel side 'b` | Area |
| 10 m | 12 m | 20 m |

Solution
Given: Height h = 10 m
Parallel sides a = 12 m, b = 20 m
Area of the Trapezium = `1/2` h(a + b) sq.units
= `1/2` × 10 × (12 + 20) m2
= (5 × 32) m2
= 160 m2
Tabulating the results we get
| Height 'h' | Parallel side 'a` | Parallel side 'b` | Area |
| 10 m | 12 m | 20 m | 160 m2 |
