Question

IN A TRAPEZIUM IF THE SUM OF THE PARALLEL SIDES IS 16CM AND THE AREA IS 48CM2 THEN ITS HEIGHT​

Answer 1

Answer:

h = 6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of Trapezium = 1/2 h (a + b)

Let h is taken as height

Let a and b are parallel sides

Area of trapezium = 48 cm2

1/2 h (a + b) = 48cm2

To find a and b :

a + b = 16

a and b are equal

a = 8

b = 8

1/2 h (8 +8) = 48cm2

1/2h (16)  = 48cm2

8h = 48cm2

h = 48 / 8

h = 6cm

Hope it helps u !!
