PQRS is a trapezium. QR//PS, /PQ/ = 5cm, /OR/ = 6cm, /PS/ = 10cm and angle QPS = 42o. Calculate, correct to the nearest cm2, the area of the trapezium (h = 3.35cm2 )
A.
27cm2
B.
30cm2
C.
36cm2
D.
37cm2
Correct answer is A
Area = \(\frac{1}{2}(a + b)\)h
where a = QR = 6cm
b = PA = 10cm
Area = \(\frac{1}{2}(6 + 10)\) x 3.35cm2
= \(\frac{1}{2}(16)\) x 3.35cm2
= 26.8cm2
= 27cm2 (approx.)
