Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the parallel sides be 3x and 5x

Area of trap=21×Sum of parallel sides×h

So, 50=21×(3x+5x)×5

⇒50=4x×5

⇒x=2050=2.5

So, the first side=3x=3×2.5=7.5m

and the second side is =5x=5×2.5=12.5m
