Find the area of trapezium whose parallel sides are 12 cm and 16 cm long, and the distance between them is 14 cm?  Select:
A) 288 cm2
B) 277 cm2
C) 285 cm2
D) 196 cm2
E) 287 cm2
Area of a trapezium = 1/2 (sum of parallel sides) * (perpendicular distance between them)   = 1/2 (12 + 16) * (14)   = 196 cm2   Answer: 196 cm2
