    Question

    Observe the figure below and find the area of trapezium PQRS.

    A.

    119 cm2cm^2

    B.

    108 cm2cm^2

    C.

    114 cm2cm^2

    D.

    102 cm2cm^2

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    Formula Used:

    Area of trapezium = 12×(sum of parallel sides)×height\frac{1}{2} \times (sum \ of \ parallel \ sides) \times height  

    Solution:  

    PQR is a right angle triangle 

    BY Pythagoras Theorem   

    (QR)2=(PR)2(PQ)2 =(15)2(9)2 =22581 =144(QR)^2 = (PR)^2 - (PQ)^2 \\\ = (15)^2 - (9)^2 \\\ = 225 - 81 \\\ = 144 ​   

    QR = 12 cm

    QR is the height of the trapezium 

    Then the area of the trapezium   = 12×(sum of parallel sides)×height\frac{1}{2} \times (sum \ of \ parallel \ sides) \times height    

    =    12×(9+8)×12\frac{1}{2} \times (9 + 8 ) \times 12  

    = 102 cm2
