Consider a right trapezoidal field. Its two parallel sides are 30 meters and 50 meters long. One of its non-parallel sides, which acts as the height, measures 20 meters. What is the area of this field?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 800 m2.
Area of trapezium = × (sum of parallel sides) × height
⇒ × (30 + 50) × 20
⇒ × 80 × 20
⇒ 40 × 20 = 800 m2
