Read each question carefully and calculate the area of the trapezium. Remember the formula for the area of a trapezium is A = 1/2 × (a + b) × h, where 'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the parallel sides and 'h' is the height.
1. Find the area of the trapezium with parallel sides of 8 cm and 12 cm, and a height of 5 cm.
2. A trapezium has parallel sides measuring 10 meters and 16 meters. If its height is 7 meters, its area is square meters.
3. Which of the following is the correct formula for the area of a trapezium?
A = l × w
A = 1/2 × b × h
A = 1/2 × (a + b) × h
A = a + b + c + d
4. A garden bed is shaped like a trapezium. The parallel sides are 15 feet and 20 feet long, and the perpendicular distance between them is 10 feet. What is the area of the garden bed?
5. If the parallel sides of a trapezium are 6 cm and 10 cm, and the height is 4 cm, its area is 32 square cm.
