A field is in the shape of a trapezium. One of its parallel sides is twice the othe
parallel side and distance between them is 100 m. If area of the field is 10,500 m
find the length of the parallel sides.

Solution -
Let one parallel side be x meters
So, the another parallel side be 2x meters
According to Question,
Area of trapezium = 10500 m²
⇒ 1/2 × (x + 2x) × 100 = 10500
⇒ 3x = 10500 × 2/100 = 210
⇒ x = 210/3
⇒ x = 70
Therefore,
Length of one || side = x = 70 m
Another || side = 2x = 2(70) = 140 m

★ Given :
- → A field is in the shape of a trapezium. One of its parallel sides is twice the other parallel side and distance between them is 100 m. If area of the field is 10,500 m.
★ To Find :
- → The length of the parallel sides.
★ Formula Used Here :
- → Trapezium = 1/2 ( sum of parallel side) × h
★ Assumptions Needed :
- → let one parallel side be x
- → Other parallel side be 2x
★ According to Question :
- → 1/2 ( sum of parallel side) × h
- → 1/2 ( x + 2x ) × 100 = 10500
- → 1/2 × 3x × 100 = 10500
- → 1/2 × 3x = 105
- → 3x = 210
- → x = 70 m
❍ Length of first parallel side :
- → x = 70m
❍ Length of second parallel side :
- → 2x = 2 × 70 = 140 m
