a Find the area of thetrapezium shown belowb Fin
The answer is 60.
The formula for finding the area of a trapezoid or trapezium (UK) is \(A= \frac{1}{2} (base1+base2)(height)\) Base1 and base2 can be either 8 or 12 and the height is 6.
\(A= \frac{1}{2} (8+12)(6)\) Then Solve for parenthesis first. \(A= \frac{1}{2} (20)(6)\) Then multiply to get the answer. \(A= (10)(6)\) Answer: \(A= 60\)
so now uses this formula to help you okay. so you do (base1 plus base 2 )*h and divide it by 2 .
so you do 8 plus 12 = 20
and then multiply 20 by 6 and it will be 120 and divide it by 2= 60
so 60 is the area .
