Correct Answer: 240 cm 2


Solution : The area of a trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (sum of lengths of parallel sides) × (distance between parallel sides)
Substituting the given values into the formula,
$\therefore$ Area = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (14 + 18) × 15 = 240 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 240 cm 2 .
