1. Find the angles in triangle OAB.
Since and are radii of the circle, .
Therefore, is an isosceles triangle, which means .
The angle at the centre is .
2. Find the angle COB using parallel lines.
Given that is parallel to , acts as a transversal.
Using alternate interior angles, .
3. Calculate the area of the trapezium by summing the areas of triangle OAB and triangle OCB.
The area of the trapezium is the sum of the areas of and .
Area of
