Find the area of

Class 8th RD Sharma - Mathematics 20. Mensuration-I (Area of a Trapezium and a Polygon)

Answer :

In ΔCEF

CE = 10 cm and EF = 6cm

Using pythagorous theorem:

CE² = CF² + EF²

CF² = CE² - EF²

CF² = 15² - 6²

CF² = 225-36

CF² = 189

CF = 17 cm

Area of trapezium = area of parallelogram AECD + area of area of triangle CEF

Area of trapezium =

Area of trapezium =

Area of trapezium = 221 + 102 = 323 cm²
