Question

Find the area of a trapezium with parallel sides 'a' and 'b' and height 'h' as given
below:
a = 11 cm, b = 7 cm and h = 5 cm.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common ration be x,

Then the two parallel sides are 3x, 2x

Distance between them = 10 cm

Area of trapezium = 325 cm²

Area of trapezium = 1/2 (p₁ + p₂) h

325 = 1/2 (3x + 2x) 10

⇒ 325 = 5x × 5

⇒ 325 = 25x

⇒ x = 325/25

Therefore, 3x = 3 × 13 = 39 and 2x = 2 × 13 = 26

Therefore, the length of parallel sides area are 26 cm and 39 cm.
