Correct Answer: 247.5 cm 2
Solution : In trapezium ABCD, $\angle ADC = 90^\circ$, AB = 15 cm, DC = 40 cm and AC = 41 cm. In $\Delta ADC$, AC 2 = AD 2 + DC 2 ⇒ 41 2 = AD 2 + 40 2 ⇒ 1681= AD 2 + 1600 ⇒ AD = 9 cm The area of the trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (40 + 15) × (9) = 247.5 cm 2 Hence, the correct answer is 247.5 cm 2 .
