The length of two parallel sides of a trapezium are 15 metre and 20 metre. If the distance between these two parallel lines is 22 metre, then what is the area of the trapezium? Correct Answer 385 metre<span style="position: relative; line-height: 0; vertical-align: baseline; top: -0.5em;font-size:10.5px;">2</span>

Given:

The length of two parallel sides of a trapezium are 15 m and 20 m

Distance between the parallel sides = 22 m

Formula used:

Area of a trapezium(A) = 1/2 × Sum of two parallel sides × Distance between the parallel sides

Calculation:

According to the question,

A = 1/2 × (15 + 20) × 22

∴ Area of the trapezium = 385 m2
