Finding the area of a trapezium
To find the area of a trapezium, we can use the formula:
Area = (a + b) × h ÷ 2
Where:
- a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides
- h is the height (perpendicular distance between the parallel sides)
Given:
- Length of parallel sides: 14 cm and 6 cm
- Height: 5 cm
Substituting the values in the formula, we get:
Area = (14 + 6) × 5 ÷ 2
Area = 20 × 5 ÷ 2
Area = 100 ÷ 2
Area = 50 cm²
Therefore, the area of the trapezium is 50 cm², which is option A.
