The two parallel sides of a trapezium are 27 cm and 13 cm, respectively . If the height of the trapezium is 7 cm, then what is its area in m2 ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 0.014

We have given, 

The parallel sides of trapezium a = 27 cm , b = 13 cm and height h = 7 cm

The area of a trapezium = 1/2 (a +b) × h

= 1/2 (27 + 13) × 7

= 140 cm2 = 140/10000 = 0.014 m2
