In trepezium parallel sides are 60cm and 90cm and non parallel sides are 40cm and50cm find its area

Answer:
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the trapezium ABCD have the top and bottom sides being parallel (AB and CD) - top (AB) = 60 cm, bottom (CD) = 90 cm, left side (AD) = 40 cm, and the right side (BC) = 50 cm. The left and right sides(AD and BC) , 40 and 50 cm respectively are non parallel.
Drop perpendiculars from A onto CD. Call it P.
Drop perpendiculars from B onto CD. Call it Q.
Thus,
AD^2 = AP^2 + PD^2
1600 = AP^2 + PD^2 ......(X)
Also,
BC^2 = BQ^2 + QC^2
Since AP = BQ,
2500 = AP^2 + QC^2
Also since QC = 30 - PD,
2500 = AP^2 + (30-PD)^2 .....(Y)
Subtracting X from Y,
900 = 900 + PD^2 - 60*PD - PD^2
=> PD = 0.
=> QC = 30.
Therefore, distance between the two lines = 40 cm.
Therefore the area of the trapezium = 1/2 * (90 + 60) * 40
= 75*40 = 3000 sq cm.
