1. Solution

   Given :-

   • The area of a trapezium shaped field = 450 m²
   • the length of the parallel sides are 18m and 12m

   Find :-

   • Height of trapezium shaped field

   Explanation

   Let, parallel side of trapezium shaped field is a = 18 m, b = 12 m, And height be h .

   Using Formula

   [tex]\boxed{\underline{\tt{\red{\:Area_{trapezium}\:=\dfrac{h(a+b)}{2}}}}}[/tex]

   keep all above Values

   ==> Area of trapezium shaped field= h(12 + 18)/2

   ==> 450 = h(30)/2

   ==> 15h = 450

   ==> h = 450/15

   ==> h = 30 m

   Hence

   • Height of trapezium shaped field be = 30 m
