1. Answer:

   40 cm² (sq. cm)

   Step-by-step explanation:

   given –

   parallel line (a) = 10 cm

   parallel line (b) = 6 cm

   height (h) = 5 cm

   to find –

   area of the trapezium

   solution –

   area = (a+b)/2 × h

   = (10+6)/2 × 5 cm²

   = 16/2 × 5 cm²

   = 8 × 5 cm²

   = 40 cm²

   Hence area of the trapezium = 40 cm².

   hope it helps.
