Question

(30)
The area of a trapezium is 1650m2. One of its parallel sides is 60m. If the distance between
the parallel sides is 33m, find the length of the other parallel side.​

Answer 1

ans

5/3

explanation

use formula of area of trapezium

Answer 2

Answer:

40m

Step-by-step explanation:

area: 1650m2

one parallel side: 60 m

distance between two parallel sides/ height: 33m

length of other parallel side : x

formula for finding area of trapezium: 1/2(sum of parallel sides)h

∴ 1/2(x+60)33 = 1650

=>33(x+60)/2=1650

=>33x+1980/2=1650

=>33x+1980= 1650*2

=>33x+1980=3300

=>33x=3300-1980

=>33x=1320

=>x=1320/33

=>x=40

∴The length of the other parallel side is 40m.
