Question

a Find the area of thetrapezium shown belowb Fin

Answer 1

The answer is 60. The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid or trapezium (UK) is $A= \frac{1}{2} (base1+base2)(height)$ Base1 and base2 can be either 8 or 12 and the height is 6. $A= \frac{1}{2} (8+12)(6)$ Then Solve for parenthesis first. $A= \frac{1}{2} (20)(6)$ Then multiply to get the answer. $A= (10)(6)$ Answer: $A= 60$

Answer 2

so now uses this formula to help you okay.  so you do (base1 plus base 2 )*h and divide it by 2 .

so you do 8 plus 12 = 20

and then multiply 20 by 6 and it will be 120 and divide it by 2= 60

                            so 60 is the area .
