Correct Answer: 0.014


Solution : Given: The two parallel sides of a trapezium are 27 cm and 13 cm.
Height = 7 cm
Area of a trapezium
= $\frac{1}{2}$ × Sum of two parallel sides × Height
= $\frac{1}{2}$ × (27 + 13) × 7
= $\frac{1}{2}$ × (40) × 7
= 140 cm 2
= $\frac{140}{10000}$ m 2 [As 1 cm 2 = 10 -2 m 2 ]
= 0.014 m 2
Hence, the correct answer is 0.014.
