Question

Q The area of a trapezium is 793 sq m and the distance between the parallel sides is 26 m. If one of the parallel sides is 31 m, find the other.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezium = 1 / 2 × h × ( a + b ) = 793 sq.m

= 1 / 2 × 26 × ( 31 + b ) = 793

= 26 / 2 × ( 31 + b ) = 793

= 13 × ( 31 + b ) = 793

= 31 + b = 793 / 13

= 31 + b = 61

b = 61 - 31 = 30
