Correct Answer: 62
Solution : ⇒ AD = BC = 10 m ⇒ AB = EF = 15 m ⇒ AE = BF = 8 m In $\triangle$ADE, By Pythagoras theorem, AD 2 = AE 2 + DE 2 DE = $\sqrt{10^2-8^2}$ = $\sqrt{100-64}$ = $\sqrt{36}$ = 6 m ⇒ DE = CF = 6m Perimeter of trapezium ABCD = AB + BC + CF + FE + ED + DA = 15 + 10 + 6 + 15 + 6 + 10 = 62 m Hence, the correct answer is 62 m.

Question : ABCD is a trapezium with AD and BC parallel sides and E is a point on BC. The ratio of the area of ABCD to that of AED is:
Question : In a trapezium ABCD, AB and DC are parallel sides and $\angle ADC=90^\circ$. If AB = 15 cm, CD = 40 cm and diagonal AC = 41 cm, then the area of the trapezium ABCD is:
Question : The difference between the length of two parallel sides of a trapezium is 12 cm. The perpendicular distance between these two parallel sides is 60 cm. If the area of the trapezium is 1380 cm2, then find the length of each of the parallel sides (in cm).
Question : ABCD is a trapezium where AD$\parallel$ BC. The diagonal AC and BD intersect each other at the point O. If AO = 3, CO = $x-3$, BO = $3x-19$, and DO = $x-5$, the value of $x$ is:
Question : Diagonals of a trapezium $ABCD$ with $AB \parallel CD$ intersect each other at the point $O$. If $AB = 2CD$, then the ratio of the areas of $\triangle AOB$ and $\triangle COD$ is:
