Question

Area of trapezium is 124 m^2 find the length of parallel sides of the height is 8m .

Answer 1

Answer:

a+b = 31 m is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that you want to calculate the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides.

area of trapezium = (a+b)×h/2

where a and b are the lengths of the parallel sides ans

h =8m = height.

.

therefore, 124= (a+b)×8/2

124= (a+b)×4

therefore, a+b= 124/4 = 31 m.

.

Hence, sum of lengths of parallel sides is 31 meters.

Additionally, average of the lengths of the parallel sides is 31/2 = 15.5 meters.
