Given :-

  • Area of the trapezium = 168 m²
  • Length of one parallel side = a = 36 m
  • Length of other parallel side = b = 20 m

To Find :-

  • Length of each non - parallel sides.

Solution :-

Draw perpendicular lines AE ⊥ FC and BD ⊥ FC.

We know that,

\large\boxed{\underline{{\sf Area\:of\:the\:trapezium=\dfrac{1}{2}\times h\times(a+b) }}}

Putting the values together,

:\implies\sf{168=\dfrac{1}{2} \times h \times (36+20)}

:\implies\sf{168 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times h \times 56}

:\implies\sf{168\times 2 =h \times 56}

:\implies\sf{336 =h \times 56}

:\implies\sf{h=\dfrac{336}{50} }

:\implies\sf{h=6 }

∴ Height of the trapezium = 6 m.

→  AE = BD

Now,

➲  AB = ED = 20 m.

➲  FC = AE = 36 m.

➲  FE = DC = ?

Value of FE :-

:\implies\rm{FE=\dfrac{FC-ED}{2} }

:\implies\rm{FE=\dfrac{36-20}{2} }

:\implies\rm{FE=\cancel\dfrac{16}{2} }

:\implies\rm{FE=8 }

Therefore, FE = DC = 8.

Now,

We have to find the length of the non parallel sides.

According to the Question :-

Δ AEF is a right angled triangle.

By Pythagoras theorem :-

:\implies\rm{AF^2=AE^2+FE^2 }

:\implies\rm{AF^2=6^2+8^2 }

:\implies\rm{AF^2=36+64}

:\implies\rm{AF^2=100 }

:\implies\rm{AF=\sqrt{100} }

:\implies\rm{AF=10\:m }

Length of one parallel side of the trapezium, AF = 10 m.

∴ AF = BC
