Read each question carefully and calculate the area of the trapezium. Show all your working.
1. Calculate the area of a trapezium with parallel sides of length 8 cm and 12 cm, and a perpendicular height of 5 cm.
2. The formula for the area of a trapezium is A = ½ × (a + b) × h, where 'a' and 'b' are the lengths of the parallel sides and 'h' is the height. If a trapezium has an area of 40 cm², and its parallel sides are 6 cm and 10 cm, then its height is cm.
3. A trapezium has an area of 60 square meters. If the sum of its parallel sides is 15 meters, what is its perpendicular height?
4 meters
6 meters
8 meters
10 meters
4. The area of a trapezium is 75 cm². If the height is 10 cm and one parallel side is 8 cm, what is the length of the other parallel side?
5. In a trapezium, the parallel sides are always equal in length.
True
False
