Answer ::

The area of trapezium is 5120cm².

Step-by-step explanation ::

To Find :-

• The area of trapezium

Solution :-

Given that,

• The top of a table is in the shape of a trapezium.
• The lengths of the parallel sides are 104cm and 68cm
• The perpendicular distance between them is 60 cm

As we know that,

Area of trapezium = 1/2 × ( sum of parallel sides ) × distance between them,

⇢Area = 1/2 × ( 104 + 68 ) × 60

⇢Area = 1/2 × 172 × 60 . . . dividing 60 and 2 with 2

⇢Area = 1 × 172 × 30

⇢5160

The area of trapezium is 5160cm².
