Question

2) Area of a trapezium is 16m² and its height is 4m. Find the sum of parallel sides.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of trapezium ABCD = Area of ∆ ABD + Area of ∆ CBD

= 1/2 × a × h + 1/2 × b × h

= 1/2 × h × (a + b)

= 1/2 (sum of parallel sides) × (perpendicular distance between them)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer

Given :-

Area = 16 m ²

Height = 4 m

To find :-

The sum of parallel sides .

Solution

Area of trapezium = 1/2 (sum of parallel sides × height

16 = 1 / 2 (Sum of parallel sides) × 4

Sum of parallel sides = 16×2 / 4

Sum of parallel sides = 8 M

Hence,

The sum of parallel sides is 8 M
