Two parallel sides of a trapezium are 4 cm and 5 cm respectively. The perpendicular distance between the parallel sides is 6 cm. Find the area of the trapezium. Choose the correct choice from the following choices:
A) 24 cm 2
B) 25 cm 2
C) 26 cm 2
D) 27 cm 2
E) 28 cm 2

Rationale: area of trapezium when height and two parallel sides are given = 1 / 2 × h × ( a + b ) = 1 / 2 x 6 x ( 4 + 5 ) = 27 cm 2 answer d
Answer: D
