Question

area and altitude of a trapezium are 840 cm square and 16cm respectively. One of the parallel sides is one - third the other. Find the length of the shorter side.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the lengths of parallel sides = x and 1/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

area = 1/2(b1+b2)h

840 = 1/2(x+1/3x)16

840/8 = 4x/3

x = 78.75

shorter side = 1/3 * 78.75

= 26.25

And that is your answer my friend. Have a  cooooool day!!

Answer 2

Answer:

• 26.25 is the answer.
