Question

8. The lengths of the parallel sides of a trapezium are in the ratio 3 : 5 and the distance between then
10 cm. If the area of trapezium is 120 cm, find the lengths of its parallel sides.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area of trapezium= 1/2(l+b)h

120=1/2(3x+5x)10

24=8x

x=3

sides are 3×x=3×3=9cm

5×x=5×3=15cm
