Answer

Given:

The lengths of the parallel sides of the trapezium are 12 cm and 10 cm.

The distance between the parallel sides is 10 cm.

The parallel sides of a trapezium are 12 cm and 10 cm. If the distance between the parallel sides is 10 cm; the area of the trapezium is : Area of a Trapezium and a Polygon, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 8.

As we know, the area of a trapezium = 12\dfrac{1}{2} x (sum of parallel sides) x height

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} x (12 + 10) x 10 cm2

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} x 22 x 10 cm2

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} x 220 cm2

= 110 cm2

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
