Question

A field is in the form of a trapezium. Its area is 1500 sqm, and the distance between its parallel sides is 30m. If one of the parallel sides is 65 m, the other parallel is​

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that the length of one of the parallel sides is 84m and let us consider the other parallel side as x m

We are given that the height(h)=26 m and the area of trapezium =1586m²

By using the formula of Area of trapezium =

2

1

×(sum of parallel sides)×height

1586=1/2×(84+x)×26

1586=(84+x)×13

84+x=1586/13

84+x=122

x=122−84=38

∴ The length of the other parallel side is 38 m.
