Correct Answer: 0.0096


Solution : The area of a trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ × sum of lengths of parallel sides × height
Substituting the given values,
The area of the trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (17 + 15) × 6 = 96 cm 2
We know that, 1 m 2 = 10,000  cm 2
Area = $\frac{96 \, \text{cm}^2}{10,000}$ = 0.0096 m 2
Hence, the correct answer is 0.0096.
