From the figure, PS = QR = YT = 7cm


Area of parallelogram PQRS = 56cm


56 = base x height, where base = 7


7 x h = 56cm,


h = \(\frac{56}{7}\)


= 8cm


Area of trapezium \(\frac{1}{2}\) (sum of two sides)x height where two sides are QT and PS but QT = QR + RY + YT = 7 +9 + 7 = 23cm


Area of trapezium PQTS = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(23 + 7) x 8


\(\frac{1}{2}\) x 30 x 8 = 120cmsq
