Correct Answer: 10 cm
Solution :
The area of a trapezium, A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × h × (a + b), where h is the height, and a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides.
We have, a = 15 cm, b = 20 cm, and A = 175 cm
2
On substituting the values, we get,
⇒ 175 = $\frac{1}{2}$ × h × (15 + 20)
$\therefore$ h = $\frac{175 \times 2}{35}$ = 10 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 10 cm.
