Question

3. Area of a trapezium is 462 cm². If the lengths of the parallel sides are
26 cm and 16 cm, find the distance between the parallel sides.​

Answer 1

Answer:

22cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Trapezium=1/2×(Sum of parallel sides)×h

462= 1/2*(26+16)(h)

*here h is the distance between parallel sides *

462=21*h

h= 22cm

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezium = a+b/2 x h

Area = 462 Sq. cm

Parallel sides = 26 cm and 16 cm

Height =?

.

462 = 26+16/2 x X

462 = 42/2 x X

462 x 2 = 42 x X

924 = 42X

X = 924/42

X = 22

Therefore, distance between parallel sides is 22cm

Note : Distance between parallel sides = height
