Question

the area of a trapezium in 300 m the perpendicular distance between the two parallel side in 15 CM if the difference of the parallel side is 16 m find the length of the parallel side

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this will always help you...

The area of trapezium is given =300m.

Let the area of trapezium be A...

Let the one side be a and the other side is a-16.....

A= 1/2× sum of parallel sides ×height

300 = 1/2 × (a + a-16) × 15.

= (a + a - 16) × 15 = 600 (300 × 2)

(2a-16) × 15 = 600.

(2a-16) = 600 / 15

(2a-16) = 40.

2a= 56 ( 40 + 16 )

a = 56/2

a = 28m

And...

a- 16 = 12m..

**The first side of the trapezium is 28m..

**The second side of the trapezium is

12m..
