Correct Answer: 180
Solution :
Given: The lengths of the two parallel sides = 16 m and 20 m
Height = 10 m
Area of the trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}\times {\text{sum of parallel sides}} \times {\text{height}}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times (16+20)\times 10$
$=36\times 5$
$=180$ sq. metres
Hence, the correct answer is 180.
