Correct Answer: 247.5 cm2
Solution : In trapezium ABCD, $\angle ADC = 90^\circ$, AB = 15 cm, DC = 40 cm and AC = 41 cm. In $\Delta ADC$, AC2 = AD2 + DC2 ⇒ 412 = AD2 + 402 ⇒ 1681= AD2 + 1600 ⇒ AD = 9 cm The area of the trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (40 + 15) × (9) = 247.5 cm2 Hence, the correct answer is 247.5 cm2.
