Correct Answer: 0.016


Solution : Given: The two parallel sides of a trapezium are 27 cm and 13 cm respectively.
Height = 8 cm
$\therefore$ Area of the trapezium
= $\frac{1}{2}\times$ sum of parallel sides × distance between parallel side
= $\frac{1}{2}\times  (27 + 13) \times 8$
= $\frac{1}{2}\times  40 \times  8$
= $160$ cm 2
= $\frac{160}{10000}$ m 2
= $0.016$ m 2
Hence, the correct answer is 0.016.
