Answer:

1/2 * (5+3) * 6 = 24 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is 20

and it's a rectangle so 2x + 12= 20

x is 4 so one of parallel side of trapezium is 9-4 or 5 then just apply formula for area of trapezium

The area of the trapezium is [tex]60cm^{2}[/tex]

What is a trapezium?

'A trapezium is a quadrilateral, which is defined as a shape with four sides and one set of parallel sides.'

According to the given problem,

AB = FC = 6cm

Perimeter of ABCF = 20cm

CB = FA

⇒ 20 = 6 + 6 + CB + CB

⇒ 8 = 2CB

⇒ CB = 4

Base 1 = CF = 6cm

Base 2 = DEDE = DB + BA + AEDB = AEDE = 9 + 6 + 9 = 24

Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2} * ( a + b ) * h[/tex]

h = 4a = Base 1 = 6b = DE = 24

Area of trapezium CDEF=[tex]\frac{1}{2}* (6+24)*4[/tex]

= [tex](2*30) cm^{2}[/tex] = [tex]60 cm^{2}[/tex]

Hence, we can conclude that the area of the trapezium is 60cm ².
