This document discusses how to calculate the area of a trapezium. It defines a trapezium as a quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides. It explains that to find the area, the trapezium should be divided into a rectangle and two triangles by connecting the non-parallel sides. The area formula is given as (b1 + b2)h/2, where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel sides, and h is the altitude or height.
