In the figure, PS = 7cm and RY = 9cm. IF the area of parallelogram PQRS is 56cm2. Find the area of trapezium PQTS
56cm2
112cm2
120cm2
176cm2
Correct answer is C
From the figure, PS = QR = YT = 7cm
Area of parallelogram PQRS = 56cm
56 = base x height, where base = 7
7 x h = 56cm,
h = 567
= 8cm
Area of trapezium 12 (sum of two sides)x height where two sides are QT and PS but QT = QR + RY + YT = 7 +9 + 7 = 23cm
Area of trapezium PQTS = 12(23 + 7) x 8
12 x 30 x 8 = 120cmsq
