Correct Answer: 385 metre 2


Solution : Given: The length of two parallel sides of a trapezium is 15 metres and 20 metres.
Height = 22 metres
We know, Area of a trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ × Sum of two parallel sides × Distance between the parallel sides
⇒ Area of a trapezium = $\frac{1}{2} ×(15+20)×22=\frac{1}{2} ×35×22=385$ metre 2
Hence, the correct answer is 385 metre 2 .
