Question

9) The area of a trapezium is 182 cm . Its height is
14 cm. The shorter parallel side is shorter than
the other one by 16 cm. Find the lengths of the
parallel sides.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let one side be X

then other side is x-16

Area= 1/2 (sum of parallel sides) ×h

182=1/2(X+x-16)14

182×2=(2x-16)14

364=(2x-16)14

364/14=2x-16

26=2x-16

26+16=2x

42=2x

2x=42

X=42/2

X=21
