Answer 2

Given:-

• Area = 200 cm²
• Height = h = 5cm
• One of the parallel sides = a = 40cm

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Need to find:-

• Measure of Other parallel side = b =?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Solution:-

We know,

Area of a trapizium = $\dfrac{sum \: of \: the \: parallel \:sides \: }{2} \times height$

→Area = $\dfrac{a + b}{2} \times h$

Substitute the values:

→$200 = \dfrac{40 + b}{2} \times 5$

→${40 + b} \times 5 = 2\times 200$

→${40 + b} \times 5 = 400$

→ 40 + b = 400 ÷ 5

→ 40 + b = 80

→ b = 80 - 40

→ b = 40cm

The length of other parallel side is 40cm
