Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Area of Trapezium = 1/2(sum of parallel sides) * h
91 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (5 + 9)h
cross multiply
91 = 7h
h = \(\frac{91}{7}\)
h = 13cm
Area of Trapezium = 1/2(sum of parallel sides) * h
91 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (5 + 9)h
cross multiply
91 = 7h
h = \(\frac{91}{7}\)
h = 13cm
