Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
A trapezium has parallel sides measuring 8 cm and 5 cm. The height of the trapezium is 4 cm. Calculate its area.
[3 marks]
2.
If the non-parallel sides of a trapezium are both 6 cm, and the shorter base is 5 cm with a height of 4 cm, find the length of the longer base.
[3 marks]
3.
Construct a trapezium on the grid with bases of 7 cm and 4 cm, and height of 3 cm. Label the bases.
[2 marks]
4.
The longer base of a trapezium is 10 cm, the shorter base is 6 cm, and the height is 5 cm. What is the area of this trapezium?
[3 marks]
5.
A trapezium has bases of 9 cm and 4 cm. The area is 31.5 cm^2. Find the height.
[3 marks]
6.
A real-world scenario: A trapezium-shaped garden has parallel sides of 12 m and 8 m, with a height of 5 m. Calculate the area of the garden.
[4 marks]
7.
Two trapeziums have the same height and one has bases 6 cm and 4 cm, the other has bases 8 cm and 5 cm. If both have an area of 24 cm^2, find the height assuming the areas are correct.
[4 marks]
8.
Calculate the perimeter of a trapezium with sides 5 cm, 7 cm, 6 cm, and 4 cm.
[2 marks]
9.
A trapezium's non-parallel sides are 5 cm and 7 cm. The bases are 10 cm and 6 cm respectively. If the height is 4 cm, verify the area calculation: (area = 0.5 × (sum of bases) × height).
[3 marks]
10.
Identify and correct the mistake in this statement: "The area of a trapezium is found by multiplying the sum of the bases by the height."
[2 marks]
11.
Challenge: A trapezium with bases 9 cm and 5 cm has an area of 28 cm^2. Find the height, and then verify your result.
[4 marks]
