The formula for the area of trapezium is,
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}\text{ }\cdot\text{(sum of parallel side)}\cdot\text{ (height)}[/tex]
For the trapezium, parallel side are of length 8 in and 4 in, where height is 6 in.
Determine the area of trapezium.
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot(8+4)\cdot6 \\ =6\cdot6 \\ =36 \end{gathered}[/tex]
So area of trapezium is 36 inch square.
