Question
Top surface of a table is trapezium in shape. Find its area if its parallel sides are $1\ m$ and $1.2\ m$ and perpendicular distance between them is $0.8\ m.$

Answer

Top of table of trpezium in shape whose paraller sides are $1\ m$ and $12\ m$ distance between them $(h) = 0.8\ m$
Area of trapezium $=\frac{1}{2} ($Sum of parallel sides$)\ ×$ height

$=\frac{1}{2}(1+1.2)\times0.8\text{m}^2$
$=\frac{1}{2}(2.2)\times0.8\text{m}^2=1.1\times0.8\text{m}^2$
$=0.88\text{m}^2$
