Question

A field is in the form of a trapezium. Its area is 1440 m2 and the distance between two parallel sides is 32 m. If one of the parallel side is 34 m, find the other parallel side​

Answer 1

Answer:

75m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Area of trapezium field = 1440 m  

2

 

Height of field = 24 cm

Ratio of parallel sides 5 : 3

Let the sides be 5x and 3x.

We know that,

Area of trapezium =  

2

1

​

 (Surn of parallel side) × Height

1440 =  

2

1

​

 (5x + 3x) × 24 ⇒  

24

1440×2

​

 = (5x + 3x)

120 = 8x ⇒ = 15

Hence, longer side =  5 × 15 = 75 cm
