The distance between the parallel sides of a trapezium is 15 cm. The length of the line joining the mid-points of the non-parallel sides is 20 cm. What is the area (in square cm) of the trapezium?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Given:
Height = 15 cm
Median = 20 cm
According to the formula:
Area of the trapezoid = Median × Height
Area = 20 × 15 = 300 sq. cm
