Question

Find the area of the trapezium above.

Options

A)
91 cm2
B)
78 cm2
C)
60 cm2
D)
19 cm2

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The area of a trapezium is given by the formula:

\[\frac{1}{2} (a + b) \times h\]

where \(a\) and \(b\) are the lengths of the parallel sides and \(h\) is the height. In the given trapezium, \(a = 7\) cm, \(b = 13\) cm, and \(h = 6\) cm. Substituting these values into the formula gives:

\[\frac{1}{2} (7 + 13) \times 6 = 60 \, \text{cm}^2\]

So, the area of the trapezium is \(60 \, \text{cm}^2\), which corresponds to Option C.
