1. Find the area of a trapezium with parallel sides of length 10 cm and 15 cm, and a height of 8 cm.
2. If the area of a trapezium is 72 cm², one parallel side is 12 cm, and the height is 9 cm, the length of the other parallel side is cm.
3. Which of the following is the correct formula for the area of a trapezium, where 'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the parallel sides and 'h' is the height?
Area = (a + b) × h
Area = ½ × (a + b) × h
Area = a × b × h
Area = ½ × a × b × h
4. A trapezoidal garden has parallel sides measuring 18 meters and 24 meters. The perpendicular distance between these sides is 10 meters. What is the area of the garden?
