Question

the area of a trapezium is 1586 cm2 and the distance between its parallel sides is 26 cm.it one of the parallel sides is 84 cm,find the other

Answer 1

hello frnd!!

here's ur answer...

given:

height=26cm

one of the parallel side=84cm

let it be b1.

area of the trapezium=1586cm²

1/2×h(b1+b2)=1586cm²

1/2×26(84+b2)=1586cm²

13(84+b2)=1586cm²

1092×13b2=1586cm²

13b2=1586-1092

13b2=494

b2=38cm

hence, the length of other side is 38cm.

hope this helps...
