One of the parallel sides of a trapezium is double the other and it's height is 24cm . If area of the trapezium is 360cm find the length of the parallel sides,
Answers
1st parallel side =10 and longer side =30 cm
Given :
One of the parallel sides of trapezium is double the other
Height of the trapezium = 24 cm
Area of trapezium = 360 cm²
To Find :
The length of parallel sides of trapezium
Solution :
Let length of one of the parallel sides be "x" then the length of the other side becomes "2x".
Area of trapezium is given by ,
here ,
a and b are lengths of parallel sides
h is height of trapezium
Subatituting the values we have in the formula ,
Now ,
Length of one of the parallel side (x) = 10 cm
Then ,
The length of the other parallel side (2x) = 2(10) = 20 cm
Hence ,
Lengths of the parallel sides of given trapezium are 10 cm and 20 cm
