Question

the area of a trapezium is 150 square centimeters the length of the parallel sides are 4cm and 12 centimeters what is the distance between the parallel sides

Answer 1

Answer:

add 4cm and 12cm then divide that number by 150

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

h=18.75 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let the parallel sides be a and b

altitude of the trapezium ((or distance between the parallel sides)) be h

so, ATQ:- a=4 cm,b=12 cm

then, area of the trapezium will be ½(a+b)h=150 cm²(given)

• ½(a+b)h=150
• ½(4+12)h=150
• ½16h=150
• h=(150×2)/16
• h=18.75 cm
