Question

if the perimeter of trapezium shaped floor is 56 M its non parallel sides are 12 m each and the altitude is 10m ,find the area that the floor covers

Answer 1

perimeter of trapezium=56m
Non parallel sides =12m each
H=10m
parallel side+ non parallel =56m
parallel side =56-(12+12)
parallel side=56-24=32m
hence parallel side=32m

then area =1/2(32)×10
=32×5
=160 sq.m
