Question

One Side of the trapezium is thrice the other. The distance between them is 16m The area of trapezium is 256 m square Find the Sudes of the trapezium.​

Answer 1

let the side be x and 3x

area of Trapezium = 256m^2

1/2(sum of two sides) ×height = 256

1/2(x+3x) ×16 =256

4x =256/8

4x =32

x = 8

so, the sides are

x =8 m

3x=3×8 =24 m

Answer 2

Answer:

Let us take the smaller side as x

Other side = 3x

height = 16

Area = 256 m square

1/2 ×(x+3x)×16 = 256
