Find the area of the trapezium if height is 5 cm and AB and CD are given as 10 and 6 cm respectively.

Question: Find the area of the trapezium if height is 5 cm and AB and CD are given as 10 and 6 cm respectively.

Solution:
Given,
AB = 10cm, CD = 6cm, height = 5cm

According to the formulae,
Area of Trapezium = (1/2) h (AB+CD)
⇒ Area of Trapezium = 1/2 × 5 × (10 + 6)
⇒ Area of Trapezium = 40 cm²
