a field is in the shape of a trapezium whose parallel sides are 25m and 10m the non parallel sides are 14 and 13 metre find the area of the field.
Answers
Let ABCD be a trapezium with,
AB∥CD
AB=25m
CD=10m
BC=14m
AD=13m
Draw CE∥DA. So, ADCE is a parallelogram with,
CD=AE=10m
CE=AD=13m
BE=AB−AE=25−10=15m
In ΔBCE, the semi perimeter will be,
s=(a+b+c) /2
s= (14+13+15) /2
s=21m
Area of ΔBCE,
A= √s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)
=√21(21−14)(21−13)(21−15)
= √21(7)(8)(6)
=√ 7056
=√84m^2
Also, area of ΔBCE is,
A= 1/2 ×base×height
84= 1/2 ×15×CL
(84×2) /15=CL
CL= 56/5m
Now, the area of trapezium is,
A= 1/2(sumofparallelsides)(height)
A= 1/2×(25+10)( 56/5)
A=196m^2
Therefore, the area of the trapezium is 196m ^2
Answer:
A computer is a machine that can be instructed to carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations automatically via computer programming. Modern computers have the ability to follow generalized sets of operations, called programs. These programs enable computers to perform an extremely wide range of tasks.
