This trapezium is drawn on a centimetre grid.
Find the area of the trapezium.

Answer:
A = 21 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h (b₁ + b₂ )
where h is the height between bases and b₁, b₂ are the parallel bases
Here h = 3, b₁ = 9, b₂ = 5 , then
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 3 × (9 + 5) = 1.5 × 14 = 21 cm²
