- 1. (b) b × h — Parallelogram area = base × height.
- 2. (c) 20 — ½ × 10 × 4 = 20.
- 3. (a) ½ × (a + b) × h — Average of parallel sides × height.
- 4. (b) 24 — ½ × 8 × 6 = 24.
- 5. Area = ½ × (sum of parallel sides) × height = ½ × (a + b) × h.
- 6. Area = ½ × d₁ × d₂, half the product of the diagonals.
- 7. Draw a diagonal of the trapezium; it divides the shape into two triangles with the same height h (the distance between the parallel sides). One triangle has base a and the other base b, so the total area = ½×a×h + ½×b×h = ½×(a + b)×h. This is the trapezium area formula.
