Question

the area of a trapezium is 224 square and its height is 14 cm if one of the parallel side is longer than other by 8 cm find the length of two parallel sides​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let one side be p, then other side will be p+8

Area of trapezium = (1/2)(p+p+8)×14=224

(p+4)×14 = 224

p +4=224÷14 = 16

p = 16 - 4 = 12

p+8 = 12+8 = 20

One side is 12 and other side is 20
