How to find a parallel sides of trapezium length 7.3mm and 5.3mm ,and it’s height is 5mm calculate the area of a trapezium
Answer:
31.50 mm²
Step-by-step explanation:
A trapezoid is a convex quadrilateral. A trapezoid has at least on pair of parallel sides. the parallel sides are called bases while the non parallel sides are called legs
Characteristics of a trapezoid
It has 4 vertices and edges
If both pairs of its opposite sides of a trapezoid are parallel, it becomes a parallelogram
Area of a trapezoid = 1/2 x (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) x height
1/2 x ( 7.3 + 5.3) x 5 = 31.50 mm²
