Question

Area of trapezium is 54cm2 if parallel sides are 8cm and 7cm long then find the distance between them

Answer 1

Hey mate...

Area of trapezium =1/2*sum of parallel sides*height

So..54=1/2*15*h
54*2/15=h
h=7.2cm...


HOPE IT HELPS..

Answer 2

area of trapezium= height* (sum of parallel sides)/2

here, 54=height*( 8+7)/2

54=height*15/2

54= height*7.5

54/7.5 =height

7.2=height

it means that the difference between them is 7.2cm
