1.
Calculate the area of a trapezium with parallel sides measuring 8 cm and 5 cm, and a height of 6 cm.
[2 marks]2.
A trapezium has bases of 10 m and 4 m, and its area is 36 m^2. Find its height.
[3 marks]3.
A trapezium with bases 7 cm and 3 cm has an area of 20 cm^2. Calculate its height.
[2 marks]4.
Construct a trapezium on the grid with bases 6 cm and 3 cm, and height 4 cm. Calculate its area.
[3 marks]5.
Calculate the area of a trapezium with bases 12 m and 9 m, and height 5 m.
[2 marks]6.
A trapezium has an area of 48 cm^2, with bases of 8 cm and 4 cm. Find the height.
[2 marks]7.
A trapezium with bases 9 m and 5 m has a height of 4 m. What is its area?
[2 marks]8.
A trapezium’s non-parallel sides are equal in length, and the bases are 10 cm and 6 cm. If the area is 32 cm^2, find the height.
[3 marks]9.
A trapezium with bases 15 m and 7 m has an area of 56 m^2. Calculate its height.
[3 marks]10.
A trapezium with bases measuring 14 cm and 9 cm has a height of 5 cm. Verify its area.
[3 marks]11.
Identify and correct the mistake: A student calculates the area of a trapezium with bases 6 cm and 4 cm and height 3 cm as 18 cm^2, but the actual area is 15 cm^2.
