The parallel sides of a trapezium are 38 mm and 44 mm, and the height is 10 mm. What is its area?
Note
Area of a trapezium = 1/2 × (sum of parallel sides) × height. So area = 1/2 × (38 + 44) × 10 = 410 square mm. A trapezium has two parallel sides, so first add those two sides, then multiply by the height, and finally take half. The height must be the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides. So the correct choice is 410 mm².
