Example 1 · 1 mark · multiple choice
A trapezium has parallel sides of 6 m and 10 m and a perpendicular height of 4 m. Find its area.
- A120 m²
- B64 m²
- C24 m²
- D32 m²
Example 2 · 3 marks · multi-part
A closed cylindrical tank has radius 4 m and height 10 m.
Example 3 · 2 marks · numerical answer
A field is measured with offsets from a straight boundary. The widths (in metres) at equal intervals of 5 m are:
| Distance (m) | 0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Width (m) | 0 | 8 | 11 | 9 | 0 |
Use the trapezoidal rule with four intervals to estimate the area of the field.
Answers and worked solutions appear when you practise these questions.
