Mathematics 2004 JAMB Past Questions - Question 27: In the diagram above PQ =4cm and TS =6cm. If the area of parallelogram PQTU is 32cm. find the area of the trapezium PQRU
Choose the most appropriate option for the gap .
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
D
Explanation
Parallelogram = b x h; b x h = 32 since b = 4cm 4 x h = 32 → h = 8 ; Trapezium = ½ L(a + b) Base of trapezium = (4 + 6 + 4)cm = 14cm=½ x 8/1 (4 + 14) = 4(18) = 72cm²
