Find the area of a trapezium which has a height 20 cm and its parallel sides are 7 cm and 8 cm long

The area of the trapezium is

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezium is given by

where

h is the height

a and b are the parallel sides of the trapezium

From the question

h = 20cm

a = 7cm

b = 8 cm

Substitute the values into the above formula

We have

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
