Question

Open area of a house is in the shape of trapezium with parallel sides in the ratio 3:5 its area is 50m2 and the perpendicular distance between the parallel side is 5 m. Find the lenth of two parallel sides is 5 m.find the length of two parallel sides of that open area

Answer 1

Answer:

Given,

Area=50m2

Sides ratio =3:5

Altitude=5m

Solve,

Let, one side= 3x

Second side=5x

Area=1\2×5(3x +5x)

50=5/2×8x

50×2/5=8x

20/8=x

X=2.50m

Then,

One side= 3×2.50=7.50m

Second side=5×2.50=12.5m
