(2) Find the area of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 24 cm and 20 cm and the distance between them is 15 cm.
Solution :
Given height (h) = 15 cm
Parallel sides are (a) = 24 cm and (b) = 20 cm
Area of the trapezium = 1/2 x h (a + b) sq. units
= 1/2 × 15 × (24 + 20)
= 1/2 × 15 × 44
= 15 × 22
= 330 sq.cm
Therefore, the area of the trapezium is 330 sq.cm
(3) The area of a trapezium is 1586 sq. cm. The distance between its parallel sides is 26 cm. If one of the parallel sides is 84 cm then, find the other side.
Solution :
Given, the area of a trapezium = 1586 sq. cm.
Parallel sides are (a) = 84 cm and height (h) = 26 cm
To find Parallel sides are (b) = ?
We know,
Area of the trapezium = 1/2 × h (a + b) sq. units
1586 = 1/2 × 26 × (84 + b)
1586 = 13 × (84 + b)
(84 + b) = 1586/13
(84 + b) = 122
b = 122 – 84
b = 38 cm
Hence, other parallel side of trapezium is 38 cm
(4) The area of a trapezium is 1080 sq. cm. If the lengths of its parallel sides are 55.6 cm and 34.4 cm, find the distance between them.
Solution :
Given, the area of a trapezium = 1080 sq. cm.
Parallel sides are (a)
= 55.6 cm and Parallel sides are (b)
= 34.4 cm
To find height (h) = ?
We know,
Area of the trapezium = 1/2 × h (a+b) sq. units
1080 = 1/2 × h × ( 55.6 + 34.4)
1080 = 1/2 × h × 90
1080 = h × 45
h = 1080/45
h = 1080/45
h = 24 cm
Hence, distance between parallel side of trapezium is 24 cm.
(5) The area of a trapezium is 180 sq. cm and its height is 9 cm. If one of the parallel sides is longer than the other by 6 cm, find the length of the parallel sides.
Solution :
Given, the area of a trapezium = 180 sq. cm.
Let parallel sides are (a) = x cm and Parallel sides are (b) = (x + 6) cm
Height (h) = 9 cm
To find x = ?
We know,
Area of the trapezium = 1/2 × h (a + b) sq. units
180 = 1/2 × 9 ×(x + x + 6)
180/9 = 1/2 × (2x + 6)
20 = 1/2 × (2x + 6)
(2x + 6) = 20 × 2
(2x + 6) = 40
2x = 40 – 6
2x = 34
x = 34/2 = 17
Thus, a = 17 cm and b = x + 6
= 17 + 6
= 23 cm
Hence, parallel sides of trapezium is 23 cm and 17 cm.
(6) The sunshade of a window is in the form of isosceles trapezium whose parallel sides are 81 cm and 64 cm and the distance between them is 6 cm. Find the cost of painting the surface at the rate of Rs 2 per sq. cm.
Solution :
Given, height (h) = 6 cm
Parallel sides are (a) = 81 cm and (b) = 64 cm
Area of the trapezium
= 1/2 × h (a + b) sq. units
= 1 /2 × 6 × (81 + 64)
= 3 × (145)
= 435 sq.cm
Since, cost of painting for 1 sq.cm = ₹2
Therefore, cost of painting for 435 sq.cm
= ₹(2 × 435)
= ₹ 870
Hence, the cost of painting the surface is ₹870
(7) A window is in the form of trapezium whose parallel sides are 105 cm and 50 cm respectively and the distance between the parallel sides is 60 cm. Find the cost of the glass used to cover the window at the rate of ` 15 per 100 sq. cm.
Solution :
Given height (h) = 60 cm
Parallel sides are (a) = 105 cm and (b) = 50 cm
Area of the trapezium = 1/2 × h (a + b) sq. units
= 1/2 × 60 × (105 + 50)
= 30 × (155)
= 4650 sq.cm
Since, the cost of the glass used to cover the window at the rate of ₹ 15 per 100 sq. cm.
Thus, for 100 sq.cm = ₹15
So, for 4650 sq.cm = ₹x
Therefore, ₹x = 4650×15/100
= 46.5 × 15
= ₹697.5
Hence, the cost of the glass used to cover the window is ₹697.5

Also, The distance between the parallel sides is 6.25 hm.
That is, height of parallelogram = 6.25 hm
To find length of base = ?
Area of the parallelogram = b × h
68.75 = b × 6.25
b = 68.75/6.25
b = 11 hm
Hence, the length of base is 11 hm.
(3) A square and a parallelogram have the same area. If the side of the square is 48 m and the height of the parallelogram is 18 m, find the length of the base of the parallelogram.
Solution :
Given, a square and a parallelogram have the same area.
Thus, side of square = 48 m
Area of square = side × side
= 48 × 48
= 2304 sq m
Therefore, area of parallelogram = 2304 sq.m
Since, height of parallelogram = 18 m
We know, Area of the parallelogram = b × h
2304 = b × 18
b = 2304/18
b = 128 m
Hence, the length of the base of the parallelogram is 128 m.
(4) The height of the parallelogram is one fourth of its base. If the area of the parallelogram is 676 sq. cm, find the height and the base.
Solution :
Given, the area of the parallelogram is 676 sq. cm
Let b cm be base of parallelogram
Thus, height of parallelogram = b/4 cm
Area of the parallelogram = b × h
676 = b × b/4
b × b = 676 × 4
b² = 2704
taking square root on both sides
b = 52 cm
Thus, h = 52/4
h = 13 cm
Hence, base and height of parallelogram is 52 cm and 13 cm respectively.
(5) The area of the rhombus is 576 sq. cm and the length of one of its diagonal is half of the length of the other diagonal then find the length of the diagonals.
Solution :

Let one of the diagonal is d cm
Thus, other diagonal is d/2 cm
We know,
Area of rhombus = 1/2 × d1 × d2
576 = 1/2 × d × d/2
576 = d × d/4
d2 = 576 × 4
d2 = 2304
d = 48 cm
Thus, d/2 = 48/2
= 24 cm
Hence, the diagonal of the rhombus is 48 cm and 24 cm
(6) A ground is in the form of isosceles trapezium with parallel sides measuring 42 m and 36 m long. The distance between the parallel sides is 30 m. Find the cost of levelling it at the rate of ` 135 per sq.m.

Area of the trapezium,
= 1/2 × h (a + b) sq. units
= 1/2 × 30 × (42 + 36)
= 15 × 78
= 1170 sq m
Since, the cost of levelling it at the rate of ₹135 per sq.m
Thus for 1 sq.m = ₹135
Therefore, for 1170 sq.m
= 1170 × 135
= ₹1,57 950

Solution :
Given, a man has to build a rhombus shaped swimming pool. One of the diagonal is 13 m and the other is twice the first one.
Thus, d1 = 13 m and d2
= 2 × 13
= 26 cm
We know, area of rhombus = 1/2 × d1 ×d2
= 1/2 × 13 × 26
= 13 × 13
= 169 sq.cm
Since, the cost of cementing the floor at the rate of ₹15 per sq.cm.
Thus, for 1 sq cm = ₹ 15

Also from fig we can say that a portion ABED is trapezium shape
From fig, height (h) = 18 m
Parallel sides are (a) = 24 m and (b) = 12 m
Area of the trapezium
= 1/2 × h (a + b) sq. units
= 1/2 × 18 × (24 + 12)
= 9 × 36
= 324 sq.m
Hence, the cultivated area will be 324 sq.m
