Question

a trapezium bhas two parallel sides as 9 cm and 7cm and area as 24 cm² . the distance between the parallel sides is​

Answer 1

Answer:

area of trapezium =24cm

parallel sides of trapezium = 9cm,7cm

area of trapezium =1/2 X sum of parallel sides X height

let the height be h cm

24= 1/2 X (9+7) X h

24 = 1/2 X 16 X h

48 =16h

48/16 =h

h =3

Required distance =3cm
