In the given figure, AB||DC and DA
AB If
cm,
cm,
cm and CL
AB the area of trap. ABCD is

A. 84 cm2
B. 72 cm2
C. 80 cm2
D. 91 cm2
Answer :
Given:
AB||DC, DA AB and CL
AB
cm
cm
cm
Therefore here AL = DC
That is AL = 7 cm
Hence LB = AB – AL = 13 – 7 = 6cm
In LCB using Pythagoras theorem
BC2 = BL2 + CL2
102 = 62 + CL2
100 = 36 + CL2
CL2 = 100 – 36
CL2 = 64
CL = 8
Here CL = AD = height of the trapezium
Therefore height = 8 cm
Now,
We know that area of trapezium is × (sum of parallel sides) × height
Therefore Area of trapezium = × (7 +13) × 8 = 80 cm2.
Rate this question :






















The area of a trapezium is 960 cm2. If the parallel sides are 34 cm and 46 cm, find the distance between them.
RD Sharma - MathematicsThe parallel sides of a trapezium are 25 cm and 13 cm; its nonparallel sides are equal, each being 10 cm, find the area of the trapezium.
