Question

a field is in the form of a Trapezium its area is 1586 metre square and the distance between its parallel side is 26 if one of the parallel side is 2084 find the other​

Answer 1

Answer: -1962m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one of the parallel sides be x.

Height of trapezium = distance between parallel sides = 26m (given)

One parallel side = 2084m (given)

So,

Area of trapezium = height/2 * (sum of parallel sides)

1586 metre square = 26/2 * (2084 + x) m

1586/13 = 2084 + x

122 - 2084 = x

-1962 = x

Hence, other parallel side measures -1962 metres.

I think the digits in the question are a bit wrong as the length of the side is coming in negative.
