Question

Mohan wants to buy a trapezium shaped field. It’s side along the River is parallel to and twice the side along the road.If the area of the field is 10500m*2 and the perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides is 100m, find the length of the sides along the river

Answer 1

Area of trapezium=0.5×h(a+b)

let the length of the sides be x

10500m*2=0.5×100(x+2x)

10500m*2=50(x+2x)

10500m*2=50x+100x

10500m*2=150x

x=10500÷150

x=70m

one side is 70m and other side is 140m

Answer 2
