Question

draw up an activity that will enable learners to develop a formula for calculating the area of a trapezium

Answer 1

It is known that the area of a right-angled triangle is equal to half the product of its legs (half of the product of its base by its height).

To find the area of a rectangle is to multiply its length by its width.

It is required to find a formula for calculating the area of a trapezium if its height (h) and the lengths of the parallel sides (a and b) are known.
