The lengths of parallel sides of the trapezium be 50 m and 160 m. While the distance between the two parallel sided is 1/3rd of the sum of the parallel sides of the trapezium. What is the area of the trapezium?

The lengths of parallel sides of the trapezium be 50 m and 160 m. While the distance between the two parallel sided is 1/3rd of the sum of the parallel sides of the trapezium. What is the area of the trapezium? Correct Answer 7350 m<sup>2</sup>

As we know,

⇒ Area of the trapezium = × (Sum of parallel sides) × (distance between parallel sides)

⇒ Distance between parallel sides = (50 + 160) × 1/3 = 70 cm

⇒ Area of trapezium = × (50 + 160) × 70 = × 210 × 70 = 7350 cm2
