Question

Find the distance between the two
parallel sides of a trapezium if the
area of the trapezium is 250sq.m
and the two parallel sides are equal
to 15m and 10m respectively.
(a) 15m
(b) 20m
(c) 25m
(d) 22m
​

Answer 1

Given,

• Measure of parallel sides are 15 m & 10 m
• Area of the trapezium = 250 m²

Now, Required distance between the parallel sides of trapezium

$= > \frac{(Area \: \: of \: \: the \: \: trapezium) \times 2}{Sum \: \: of \: \: parallel \: \: sides} \\ \\ \bf \: = > \frac{250 \times 2}{15 + 10} = \frac{500}{25} = \red{20} \: m$

• Thus, Option (b) is correct.
